I hope everyone enjoyed their spring break, and you are returning to school somewhat rested and rejuvenated for a strong finish to the 21-22 school year. At our senior meeting earlier this week I shared with our seniors that our senior class awards ceremony and graduation are only 20 and 27 school days away. The school year is really flying by.

As a reminder, this Friday (4/15) is a staff and student holiday.
