Dear Thunderbolt Parents and Guardians,
"There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, no politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
This is a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Who reminds us that, "Darkness can't drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate can't drive out hate; only love can do that."
We encourage families to take time to reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. King. Agreeing with his quote, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
We look forward to seeing every student on Tuesday, January 20th.
Thank you, and enjoy the long weekend.

Additionally, Parent Teacher Conference Night will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Please come to connect with your child's teacher after our New World Reading event.
