Welcome Back!
It is almost that time again that we welcome new (and returning) families back for enrollment. This is such an enjoyable experience because you have excited children (and parents) that are ready for the new year. It is a good reminder of why we are in the business of education...the children!
I hope that you have had the opportunity to recharge your batteries and do something that you enjoy this summer. My family and I went to Florida for about ten days and spent time visiting old friends and getting some much needed r & r at the beach. We are all so fortunate to have the time to do this and I am reminded of that throughout the summer!
I am excited to welcome you all back soon and look forward to a wonderful year together!
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
