Investing in our Children
Dear Parents, It has often been said that what we truly value can be measured by the amount of time and money that we are willing to put into it. Often times, this is not an either or, but rather both. We certainly know that simply spending a lot of money on those closest to…

Dear Parents, It’s hard to believe, but we are down to approximately a month of school left. It feels as if the past few weeks and months have flown by with the busyness of school celebrations and planning for the end of the year and beyond.
