Badger Bulletin
Volume 2, Issue 33
Badger Family,
What an incredibly busy and long week we have all had with testing, abbreviated schedules, and much more. I cannot thank you all enough for your flexibility, attention to detail, willingness to help, and positive attitudes! Words also cannot describe how thankful I am for the support PTO has provided Ashley and me as we celebrated and honored our staff both last week and this week. I hope that while May is a busy month for all of us that you are able to find some time this weekend to relax and rejuvenate!
Have a great weekend!
~Elisha
