Week of May 27th, 2022

Dear Families,

With the fear we all face in the world today, we wanted to again reiterate what a privilege it is to teach and love your children.  Thank you for sending us the hearts that live outside of your bodies each day.  While heroes live among us throughout all of these senseless tragedies, no child or educator should face violence in the safe haven that is meant to be school.  A change has to come.
​
We wish you time for connection, rest, and joy over Memorial Day weekend.
