SEPTEMBER 1, 2017
WELCOME TO THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR!
What an amazing start we've had, welcoming back our returning families and embracing our new families. Our school is filled with smiles and youthful enthusiasm.
It has been a busy week for all, but we hope you had a chance to read our Community Update, mailed recently to all parents. In the piece, we featured school updates and highlights from our activities over the summer.
Also included was a welcome letter from John Wray, Head of School and Harry Wierenga, Board Chair. If you did not receive a package, please contact Elizabeth Calderon by emailing her at ecalderon@mulgrave.com.
Let us all enjoy the coming year with curious minds, open hearts, and community spirit!
