Parents and Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and that your summer activities have been restful and joyful. Since I last wrote to you, we have been busy with an array of summer projects to update our facilities. We are close to finishing the renovation of five science classrooms, and we are working on the highly anticipated stadium lights project. The Summer Programs have been a huge success, with students of all ages taking credit classes, college application workshops, athletic camps, academy camps, and Camp Marauder. I am pleased to report that we are fully staffed with four new teachers and one new wellness counselor. Teachers are engaging in a variety of professional development programs and are starting to get ready for the always busy academic year.
