Dear CW Families, It was so great seeing everyone back in the school! From talking with our students this week, it was apparent that our students had a great time on their break. What really impressed me was how quickly they were able to get back into the routine of school and have great thinking opportunities in their classes. It is always the best part of my day when I see students get excited about their thinking! David Simpson
