9.23.22 CK-8 Staff Blog

Thank you to each and every one of you for a wonderful start to the 2022-2023 school year.  It was great to see all of your hard work showcased at curriculum night, and I hope you got to enjoy some positive feedback from families.  I know I heard from MULTIPLE families that their students have really enjoyed the time they have had so far in school and that they “love school”.  What a gift!  I appreciate you for making that a reality for our community members, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
