Summer is Here!
What a wonderful first year to be an administrative team together at Welborne! This school is a place where so many great things are happening! Best wishes to our students and staff who are moving or graduating: we’ll miss you, but the lessons you’ve learned at Welborne will certainly serve you well. For families who are returning, we look forward to continuing our learning journey together in the 2018-19 school year.
We wish everyone a safe and happy summer!
