Weekly Parent Email – December 17, 2021
We have had an amazing first semester, and we hope it’s been transformational for your student. As we complete finals and head into the winter break, now is a great time to reflect on all of the hard work that’s been done and take some time to rest and rejuvenate with family. We are so grateful for each of you and the educational journey we are on together: preparing promising students for meaningful lives as principled leaders.
Wishing you and yours a beautiful holiday season!
Sincerely,
Pete Jensen
Executive Director, LAU
