Good afternoon, Ravens,

It’s hard to believe that we are already headed into October. September was an amazing month of learning and community building, and we look forward to our next adventures.

As the mornings are starting to get a little frosty, please make sure encourage your children to dress for the weather – including layers, and more layers!
