Last weekend, I attended my first BRAVO! hosted by the Bexley Education Foundation.

I was extremely impressed by BRAVO!, and I cannot thank the BEF and our community for their continued, generous support for our staff and students. It was a successful event with great food and entertainment, and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to gather with our school community.

Items and baskets from BRAVO! are still available–more information about that is below in the newsletter.

Once again, thank you Bexley Education Foundation!
