Office Anniversaries

In September we celebrated two special milestones! Congratulations to Christi on her remarkable 18th work anniversary with the firm. Her dedication and expertise continue to be invaluable to our team. We're also excited to recognize Kristine for her 5th work anniversary. Kristine’s contributions, from marketing to payroll management, have made a significant impact. Here's to many more successful years ahead for both Christi and Kristine!

We know we’re a little late, but we couldn't miss the chance to wish all the students, parents, and teachers a wonderful school year!

Vacation Recap

Christi and her husband recently had a great trip with friends to Las Vegas to see Dead and Company at the Sphere and Garth Brooks at Caesar’s Palace. 

Kristine and friends embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure exploring Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies in September. The weather was perfect, the sights were breathtaking, and the memories unforgettable.

Charles spent a weekend at the Ozarks International Raceway. While no personal best lap time, he did hit a new top speed there of 115 MPH. His average speed on-track was 80 MPH.


Charles also spent a weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where he did set a new personal best lap time there of 1 minute 48 seconds with a top speed of 132.2 MPH, his new fastest anywhere, at an average speed of 80 MPH.

Don't miss our November newsletter, which features Charles' trip to drive two of the most famous racetracks in the world - Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany and Spa Francorchamps in Belgium!

Our office will be closed, Wednesday, October 23rd through Friday, October 25th, for a firm treat.
