Welcome back. I hope everyone got to rest, relax and do some things that are put on the back burner while we are working with kids.
This week we celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Students, and staff, who participate do not have to be in uniform. Ms. Ingersoll sent out a flier and has done a good job putting the activities together. She deserves a ton of credit for her hard work and dedication.
