Happy March

Welcome back from Winter Break! We hope that each of you was able to enjoy extra time with your children and families over the week. March certainly came in like a lamb...white and fluffy with lots of snow, however with “Spring Forward” next weekend (3/10) and the first day of Spring shortly thereafter, we know that greener days are just around the bend.
