Welcome Back
Parents & Guardians:
I hope everyone enjoyed a nice vacation break. We are all looking forward to getting back into our daily routine of learning and discovery. It seems like a quiet week with events, but transitioning back is always fun on many other fronts. I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow and getting back to business.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Go Grizzlies!
