Good evening Welby Way families,
I hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend as there is no school tomorrow as we honor those who have fought and sacrificed for our freedom and country and our family members who are veterans. I also would like to congratulate our Odyssey of the Mind team who returns today from the Michigan State University. Though they didn't bring home a trophy this year, all teams brought home a lifetime of memories, growth, and hard work. I am so very proud of them all and thank the coaches, Ms. Lundy and Ms. Awad for their time and leadership.
