Hi Ivy Families! It was another great week welcoming back our 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders! The students have been doing an awesome job of wearing their masks, washing their hands, and keeping their distance. Thank you for your help as well by modeling all of these things at home and when you are on our school campus. It truly is a team effort!!
