Dear Fabulous Elementary Teachers,

Thank you all for so graciously welcoming visitors into your classrooms today - the comments I overheard were so positive; teachers from other schools were so impressed with not only our welcoming environment, but how engaged kids were in their learning, and how differentiated the instruction was. Well done team!  

One week until Spring Break and then you can all take a well deserved week off.   

Additional thank yous

• Kay for assisting with the Raptorthon last Sunday
• Carl & Hilary for representing us through presentation at the Makeology Summit this weekend
• Ron and Meg for leading the Child Protection faculty meeting
