It's so good to be back!
We had an absolutely incredible, fun, SAFE first two days of classes on August 20 and 21, with our Gold and Maroon crews (Gold on Thursday, Maroon on Friday)! It was amazing to see teachers and friends we have missed so much since March. The common refrain in the hallways and classrooms was "It's so GOOD to be back!" With masks and social distancing, we were able to catch up with each other, as well as look ahead to what promises to be a fantastic year!
