A Note From the President...  

Nothing to be afraid of...

I want to thank everyone for their continued support of our wonderful school.  September was full of "Welcome Back" and "Open House" activities and it was great meeting so many new faces and catching up with so many fun families.  Now that leaves are falling and football season has begin, I'm ready for our next set of adventures.  If you would like to volunteer for an event, even if the sign up is full, please reach out to the event chair - we can always use more people to help.  If you'd like to volunteer but are unsure of who to contact, please reach out to me and we can chat.  And here's a special thank you for the families who've gifted to the Together We Can Annual Fund Drive.  If you have not yet done so, please consider a gift of any size as it helps make a lasting impact to our school and students.

Here's to a safe and happy October!
