Greetings Connect K8 Families,

We hope you are well! We have two short weeks on campus, so please read the details in the blurbs below. 

We also hope you had an opportunity to observe Indigenous People's Day yesterday. We want to share with you this incredible resource from Smithsonian's National Museum of American Indians that shares ideas for continued celebrating, learning, and reflecting on Indigenous History in our country.

Enjoy Your Week,

Kaitlin (she/her) and Sage (he/him)
