I'm Ba-ack!

It's so nice to be back working with the fine students of Division 1. While it was important to be away to recover from surgery, I never like being away from teaching and the school.

Thank you to all who sent positive thoughts and wishes my way. I am recovering quickly, and even participated a little in PE today.

Now that I'm back, we have some catching up to do, so be ready to work hard and efficiently as we look towards some new projects and activities!
