Week 24

Greetings 1B Families,

1B, or should I say Corinth, had a wonderful time competing in field day today! Each scholar did their best and showed great teamwork! Thank you to all the parents who joined us and helped make the day a huge success.

Have a wonderful weekend!

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,

Shannon Dawson
