CELEBRATIONS & CARING
Congrats to Mrs. Bailey! (I might have to keep putting this out there so we can all get used to calling Kaitlyn by a new name.)
Best wishes to Rachel Harry and family. She has made the tough decision (because of Covid) to take a leave of absence for this school year. We will miss you Rachel! and your girls too.

Custodians are in the building between 7 and 5:30 M-F. They are happy to help. Clearly a big task will be removing furniture, so bring your patience with you.
