It is the last week of the school year, and there is so much to celebrate. As we close in on the final days of the 2021-22 school year, our students, staff and families can certainly be proud of what we all accomplished this school year. Thank you for all we achieved together for our students, our schools, and our community. Here’s to a celebratory end of the 2021-22 school year, and we will see you on August 17th!
Have a wonderful summer break!
Kind regards,
