Tuesday in the Know - December 12, 2017
Message from the Leadership Team
We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! It is important to take time during this upcoming break to “recharge” and enjoy time with family and friends. Please remember that we will resume our part-time evening and day schedule on January 16, 2018. Full time teachers will resume January 3, 2018 with students returning on the January 4, 2018. We are in the process of planning an exciting spring semester “Kick-off” for all faculty and staff on January 8, 2018. It will be held from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at LWTC. As we look forward to the new year, it is important to also reflect on all that we have accomplished and the great things we have done together throughout this year. You have made a difference in the lives of the students who have come through our doors. We are blessed to work with such a dedicated team. We will see you next year and we are excited to build on the many great things we are doing!
