"Everyone. Everyday. Whatever it takes."
Gorka's Gab
What a great end to our first semester! Thank you for all your intentional efforts to teach and support our students and one another!
Teaching is hard and people who have never done it do not understand the importance of our breaks. This time is needed to wind down and rejuvenate so we are re-energized to continue our calling and be a positive influence on the lives we serve!
I wish you all a restful and relaxing holiday break! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
