Happy first day of school! Welcome back and welcome to the 8th grade newsletter!
Thank you all for being so welcoming as we’ve prepared for today! I’ve felt a mix of excitement and nerves as we’ve gotten ready—both individually and as a faculty—for the school year ahead. Please know that I’ve been praying for each student in our classroom, as well as their families. As we head into what I know will be a busy and exciting season, I hope we can all take time to pause, be present, and find joy in the little moments worth cherishing.
