Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great two weeks off and took time to relax, reset and enjoy quality time with loved ones.  We are very thankful for everyone who made 2024 a great start to the school year and are excited to see what 2025 has in store. January will be busy with concerts, the 8th grade transition coffee and our annual joint PTC meeting with the PFA and Dr. Luizzi.
