Kiest Throws the Ball Out of the Ballpark
With baseball season starting and Spring fever in its highest, the thought of summer vacation increases every day. Teamwork is going to be very important these next few weeks. Please continue working together, planning, sharing ideas, and supporting each other. We need to stay optimistic and hopeful that in spite of what is ahead, we must continue developing the students and get them ready for the "big leagues".
I am very proud of all of you for staying strong and for your perseverance keeping the course of student sucess!
