Last time we spoke in the beginning of January, we talked about our anticipation of the Spring Equinox. And at that point, it was a whopping 80 days away! But guess what?! Now, it is only a mere 20 days away! We have made it through the dark, cold part of winter and now we can see

Book Fair, the Student Art Show, Sickles Art Day “Fairy Tales and Folklore”, and an assembly at Knollwood by Dr. Michael Fowlin, talking about accepting our differences. Phew!...that is a lot of fantastic events and I am truly excited to share all of them with you.
