From Tammy and Karen
As we wrap up the final day of school, there’s a special kind of joy that comes with knowing we’ve completed another incredible year together. Summer break is calling—with rest, adventure, and well-deserved time to recharge—but it’s also a little bittersweet to say goodbye to the students who’ve filled our days with laughter, learning, and growth. Thank you for all the heart and energy you’ve poured into this year! Cheers to you!!
Floating Into Summer: Join us at Crux for the last horizontal meeting of the year. We will meet from 2:00 – 3:00 on the lawn! Bring a lawn chair and sunscreen, but no need to bring anything else! We will have some activities to close out the year. We hope you will stick around to socialize after 3:00! Appetizers are on Tammy and Karen! Please see Tammy’s email with the flyer for more info!
