Dear Moose,
It is the final day before December break. The younger students are having a winter solstice craft day. Some of our older students are finishing up big projects and units they have been working on. There is a joyful buzz in the building. December has brought with it some crazy weather, snowdays and cold. It has also brought a beautiful school wide play, assemblies, writing publications, learning and laughter.
When we return to school on Thursday, January 2nd it will be 2020! It seems incredible to me that we are embarking on a new decade. I am honored and thankful to be on that adventure at this special school-- with our wonderful students, teachers and families. I wish you a very Happy New Year!
