Words from the Prez: How can it be March already? The school year is down to almost the last quarter. As we spring forward into March, I hope that you will take some time for yourself during the break to renew and recharge yourself to finish the year strong. Often during this time of year, teachers tend to run themselves down. I know it is easier said than done, but take time for yourself to do something you enjoy. It will definitely help you to take on this fourth quarter.
