Eagle Express
December 22, 2022
From the Nest...
It's hard to believe Winter Break is now here - with a surprise extra day to boot! Just a reminder that our school and office are closed starting today at 4 pm until Tuesday, January 3rd. Staff are not expected to check or respond to emails during this time so that they can enjoy the holidays with their families. We look forward to serving you once again beginning on January 3rd.
We wish you a wonderful, restful break and joyous holiday season. We look forward to welcoming our Eagles back in 2023!
As always, we thank you for your continued support and partnership in our educational program.
Warm regards,
Hannah Feldman & Lisa Wrzesinski
