Dear Parents:
“We are all in the same storm but we are not all in the same boat.” Author Unknown
Nothing is more accurate than that statement right now. Without a doubt we have all been impacted by this pandemic yet each of us are on our own journey. I am not sure what the journey in your boat is like but I want you to know we as a school are here to support you and your families as best as we can. We are community after all! Feel free to reach out to me or the School Principal if there is something specific you need support with.
