Good afternoon.   I have had the opportunity to sit in on, or walk through, several of the sessions scheduled for today’s district-wide professional development day.   Please know that these days are scheduled and planned carefully and deliberately to positively impact our level of service to you and your children.   Knowing that a day off for students can cause challenges for work and family schedules, we do not take these days lightly. CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS Congratulations to Leah Scheidt and cast/crew of “The Southfield Stories” for two great performances last Friday night at the LHWHS Black Box Theater.
