Please remember to wear your masks in the building unless you are by yourself in your room or eating.


I want to say thank you to everyone for working so hard to get ready for the start of the year.  We will all have to approach this year one step at a time, try not to get ahead of ourselves, lean on each other, be understanding and flexible, treat each other with kindness, and ask for help when we need it.
