I do hope your Spring Break was enjoyable and there was time to regroup as a family as we all look ahead to the last two months of the 2021-22 school year. This time always flies by and I do have to stop and think about how precious this time is for our Seniors who are moving through a series of “lasts” experiences. Seniors, please be sure to stop and enjoy the experience, thank teachers who have had a positive impact on the person you are becoming, and enjoy time with your classmates. I wanted to give you information on school events coming up in the next few weeks.
