From Tammy and Karen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, I want to thank you all for your kind words of support and care for my family. It means a lot to know you are thinking of us and I so appreciate your understanding as I step away from work to be close to my family at this time. My mother is making slow progress in recovery from her fall, and I am so glad I can be here with her and my dad. Thank you for your grace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Your Calendar!<\/strong> We are looking forward to time together with you all on March 18th at the Education Center. We will start at 8 and work together until 11:15 a.m. Afterwards, we invite you to stay for lunch with us in the Board Room. You will be working with your PLC groups and spending 90 minutes getting training on Amplify and 90 minutes starting your next cycle for our PLC work. We have learned a lot over our meetings together this fall and winter and are looking forward to applying some of these changes to our work together moving forward. We will share more information at our Horizontal Meeting next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
