who have chosen face to face learning.
As we enter into cooler fall temperatures, I’m sure that coats, gloves and warm clothing will be needed. As you begin early holiday shopping, if you’d like to pick up an extra set of gloves or warm socks; I’m sure a student would appreciate them.
“Children may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
