Happy Sunday! We hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend and making the most of this beautiful weather. We’re grateful that our community came through Milton with minimal impact. A heartfelt thank you to those who checked in on neighbors, offered support to those with limited mobility, or navigated the changes in routine. Many of our neighbors to the south will face the storm's aftermath for months and years ahead. Let's take a moment to appreciate all that we have.

POSTPONED: Wind Ensemble field trip to DA on 10/16. Once Douglas Anderson has rescheduled, we will be sure to provide an update.
