Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying this wonderous season with extra family time and events. Our family has enjoyed several walks down beautifully lighted streets and Christmas concerts.  Your scholars did a beautiful job singing at their concert.  It is always so fun to see the kids in different activities and situations.  We had a wonderful time at the MIM and we appreciate all the help and support of our parents.   

We truly wish our scholars and their families have a wonderful winter break.  We will miss all of their smiling faces and the joy they bring to our lives with their incredible thoughts and comments. Hoping we all return relaxed and recharged to finish the year strong.
