Fourth Quarter fun
The final eight weeks will no doubt FLY by! Every season brings a unique component to the educational landscape, but this has always been one of my favorites. The warming temps, anticipation of summer break, and everything else in between makes for a fast quarter. Enjoy this month, and as always, please reach out with questions. – Zach Wigle, HS Principal
