Weekly News #16 - December 1-5, 2025

I hope you all had a relaxing and safe Thanksgiving break—whether you stayed near or far—and that you had a positive parent conference with your child’s teacher before the break. I look forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s Monday Morning Assembly as Student Council presents on our December character traits of selflessness and empathy.
