Letter From Jerry
I fully empathize with the inconvenience and added expense these school closings mean for our families. By this point, we all wish that we were in school every day and this winter would calm down. Thank you for bearing with us and I will be reporting back to you this weekend as needed.
Please stay warm this weekend,
Jerry Loewen, Head of School
