MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED

 

20111215 Marc PictureDear Parents, 


As we close out the calendar year, I want to wish you all a wonderful vacation.  Whether you will be traveling or at home, I hope that you will have the opportunity to enjoy some quality family time.  Vacations from school are also a chance for our students to recharge their batteries and gear up for the second half of the year.  We are so excited for everything that is to come and we look forward to sharing it with you as our children continue to learn and grow.


Read a good book, enjoy some outdoor activities, take in a museum, and most of all, enjoy!


See you in 2012!
