December Students and Staff of the Month!
Congratulations on your recognitions!
We want to wish Ellen, our guest student from Germany, safe travels as she heads home soon. At our Community Meeting, her peers shared how wonderful it has been to get to know Ellen and share our cultures! We gifted her an American Flag to remember her time with us.
