Boyden Weekly Update
January 7, 2022
Happy New Year!
It was great to have the students back in the school this week and hear all about their vacations. Though the return brought some new challenges, as usual, the staff around Boyden has stepped up, worked together, and kept learning and safety the priority for the students. Your children are lucky to have such a dedicated group of educators caring for them.
