We've made it through the first week of June, while we still have three weeks to go, you should each be proud of all that you have been able to conquer this school year (really the last two and a half). To say that it was tough is an understatement, some days seemed like they were never going to end, but you showed up and pushed through and for that you should be proud! We hope each of you have an amazing summer and are able to relax and recharge. We look forward to tackling next year and resetting the expectations we had in the past and really getting this back to normal. Thank you for all you do!
