We want to say a BIG Thank You to all of our families that participated in the Winter Break and Thanksgiving Break Challenges that went home over those breaks. We have two more challenges planned for President's Day Weekend and Spring Break. These challenges help students engage in academics just a little bit over break to help keep their minds sharp! Please click the link and provide any feedback that you have so we can make the last two challenges even more successful!
