Sup's Corner

Tuesday, March 17th, will forever be a sad memory for me. My foundations, as a long-time educator, made the decision to close our schools the most difficult I’ve made.

Unfortunately, we’ve all been hit with strange, uncertain days over the last weeks, causing us all to do things differently.
