Greetings and Happy December!

 

I hope your family had a wonderful fall break.

 

Thanks to all who turned out to make the Academic Fair a huge success.  It was an honor to share student work with you and to make some lovely memories together.

 

Congratulations to senior Temy Mohanan-Maselko who was accepted to the University of Mary Washington Honors Program with a 36 K Presidential Scholarship.

 

BEHIND THE SCENES:

This is the time of year I refer to as “Interlude” - the time between Fall and Winter Breaks.  Although it is a short span on the calendar, we pack a lot in! Thank you for tuning into these Updates to stay up to date with all of it.
