Good afternoon, Raven families,

It was wonderful to see all the students back in class this week! Everyone jumped right back into learning, bringing a great energy to the classroom. Thank you so much for all your support, the cards and treats, as well, as signs of encouragement and kindness—it truly means a lot. Have a fun and safe Halloween weekend—and don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour on Sunday!
