Dear Parents and students,

Winter break is here!  However you celebrate this season, I hope you have a wonderful time with family.

The students completed their library projects and they were spectacular.  I really wish we could have had them displayed at the school!  When we return from the break we will study the safety protocols and agencies for aviation.  Safety is such an important part of aviation!
