Welcome to the 2023-2024 season! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have been getting more and more excited these past two weeks, about growing together with such an awesome team of caring, passionate, and dedicated elementary leaders. We can’t wait to see you all real soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog will be your weekly communication from us and you can expect to continue to receive it on Thursday afternoons\/evenings each week. It will be filled with FYIs, To-Dos, Laughs, and more. It is expected that you read it and act on the things that are noted each week. (We’ll spend time on what this means when we see you in person.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For now, we just wanted to reach out about some important dates we want you all to have, so they don’t catch you by surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
