Our Dearest 802 students.

We are thinking of you everyday. It is beyond bizarre to be at school without your beautiful faces and growing brains. Please take good care of yourself - talk to friends, get outside, read a book, eat good food... all the things you need to do to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. We are always here for you lovelies. Please email us, if you need anything... we can also call. Please know that you are not alone. 

Love, 

Ms. Atwal and Ms. Goldman
