April is Awesome
April brought more than just showers and flowers; it also brought a whirlwind of fun! From visits to the Little Red Schoolhouse to an assembly filled with Jazz, April was a short but sweet month. In addition to time off with our families, celebrations for Easter and Passover, we celebrated the accomplishments of Mrs. Difebo and Ms. Mills. Both educators were the recipients of the Excellence in Education Award for 2019. We are happy to welcome a new month, but can say without a doubt April was rainy but not gloomy.
