DISTRICT & COMMUNITY UPDATES

Dear Friend of Wellness:


As we embrace this Season, let us remember to count on each other to make this world a better place. This year went quite fast and we are drawing closer to a well deserved winter break and celebrating another New Year.


We want to take a moment to thank you for supporting and putting into action our Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model efforts this school year, which continues to promote successful results for our...students, staff, and community.


Remember to take time for you and yours to celebrate the gift of life during this time off, and know that counting on each other will make the Season brighter.


Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children

and each other...


let's grow STRONGER together!


Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
