Good afternoon, Raven families,

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful winter break, filled with board games, hot chocolate, movies, and entire days spent wearing pjs! The staff is looking forward to seeing the students back at school on Monday. That means that everyone has three days to get ready for early mornings again! I’m so excited to hear the stories and to see how much everyone has grown over the break!
