As we shift from Thanksgiving into December, it actually feels more like January with these chilly temperatures rolling in! Even with the cold, the building has been full of warmth and excitement. This week our students enjoyed a special visit from Taft High School carolers who filled the hallways with music and cheer. Everyone also had the chance to visit the holiday shop, which brought plenty of smiles. We’re looking forward to carrying this energy into the weeks ahead.
