Hiring Updates - I'm excited to say we are VERY close to having all openings filled.  I will update staff when that is all finalized.  As of this moment...no more interviews are scheduled!! 😎

**Reminders**

**Main Office Update - Jean and Carol will be working out of the new collab. space using a few white tables (don't mind the mess).   Thank you for being patient and flexible with us.  

**Liz's Location - I'm still located in the Health Office (Katie's space).  

**Breakfast & Lunch - FYI...we will be moving back to 'paid' lunch model.  Families can apply for the free/reduced option.  Tanner will continue to have one lunch option.  😊
