See you on Wednesday!
This week the older students have to get back into the swing of things after Winter Learning week. there have been more JTF preparations (a rehearsal and a performance) for this weekend's event in Atlanta. There have been a couple basketball games for Middle and Varsity. We also had a fabulous event with Dr. Chilakamarri about understanding anxiety. I know the students are ready for this short upcoming break. While the students are out on Tuesday, the staff and faculty will be learning about learning disabilities that interfere with reading and written expression. That promises to be an interesting seminar.
It's amazing how fast the school year slips by once January comes. It hardly feels like two weeks have come and gone since the Winter Holiday! While we sit and wait for the cold weather to come, the sky has been fabulous in the mornings. The picture above does not do it justice, but that was from the school parking lot. Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you on WEDNESDAY!
 Thank you to all of our wonderful parents for contributing to the staff/faculty holiday gift before the end of 2019.
