Tuesday in the Know - November 21, 2017
Happy Thanksgiving from the Leadership Team
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. We hope everyone takes time this Thanksgiving to spend it with family and friends, reflecting and appreciating on how fortunate we are to enjoy this time. We appreciate the efforts of teachers who plan, prepare and produce great lessons; for the efforts of our staff who ensure that our sites operate to the benefit of our students with all the hard “behind-the-scenes” work; and for our dedicated students who challenge themselves every day and refuse to let obstacles get in their way of learning. We wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a restful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
