Happy Thanksgiving
from the Henry Viscardi School
Dear Henry Viscardi School Family,
The start of the 2015-2016 year has been an exciting time for our school. Most parents have met with their children’s teachers during parent conferences at the beginning of the month. Our school has completed our first quarter, and we are well into our second. Another year of elections are complete, and we welcome a new legislative session with much more lobbying work ahead of us. Most especially, our new program model has launched successfully, and we have had the privilege to welcome talented and dedicated new staff to work in our classrooms, which are supporting the needs of all our students.
