May is the last full month of school. As with all school years, it is hard to believe that the time has passed so swiftly. Yet evidence of progress and growth over the past school year abounds and gives testament to time well spent. Another phenomenon of school life is that school years rarely, if ever, end with anything other than a mad rush. No doubt this year will prove true to the rule. Therefore, as is clear below, May is fully packed with a host of events. Please take careful note of what follows and feel free to call with any related questions.
