Happy New Year


2022 is here. While it isn’t starting like we might have expected, or hoped, we do hope that you and your family are safe, healthy, and able to make the best of this situation. We look forward to seeing you on January 10. Be sure to come by the school library to see how we can help you get back into things as Semester 1 finishes up this month.
