One week down in the second semester already. I can't thank you all enough for the dedication you show to your craft. This past week, we welcomed visitors from a neighboring district who were interested in learning about some of our systems. It is always a good experience to hear from perspectives outside of our building...it helps to reaffirm the good work we are doing here, and also to learn from others.
