I am so overwhelmed by the generosity and love that our students and staff demonstrate to one another and our community. During this holiday season, our schools donated thousands of pounds of food, boxes of toys and other items to nonprofit organizations and families in need. Thank you for sharing the joy of giving to our students and how we can be a part of something bigger.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope this upcoming holiday season is filled with love and happiness.
With gratitude,
