Dear Friend of Wellness:

Happy April...time is really flying!

We have only 7 weeks and 1 day to finish this school year successfully. Let us focus and put forth the best of each of us every day to deliver those great results...knowing how each person is an essential piece in supporting the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child culture.

We are excited to announce that we are planning our first hybrid (in-person and virtual) District's Wellness Promotion Task Force (WPTF) Meeting on Tuesday, June 7th from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. The RSVP invitation and information for this special 'Wellness Celebration' will be forthcoming and shared with everyone in early May 2022. Our main goal for this WPTF post-school Celebration is to highlight our District's accomplishments and celebrate the ones who have gone above and beyond to make them possible.

We encourage you not to miss 'YOUR TIME TO SHINE...A Year In Review' and RSVP your attendance as soon as you receive your invitation, as the in-person availability will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children and each other...

Let's grow STRONGER together!

Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
