Kipling Families - thank you for all the support you have given to me and our staff. We have been able to hit the ground running this year. There are countless positive activities and learning experiences happening in every classroom and learning space here at school. It is because of our dedicated staff, and our partnership with you, our dedicated families, that our children are going to grow socially, emotionally, and academically this year. Please take this weekend to catch your breath, relax, and enjoy some extra time with your loved ones.
All my best to you and your families over the long weekend!
