Welcome back ECS!
This is the first of many Appy Hour newsletters I'll be sending your way this year. If you see anything in here that piques your interest or you want to know more about, please contact me. I will be on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My email is collinde@friscoisd.org and my extension is 33848.
