 ¡Feliz año nuevo! / Happy New Year! Welcome Back, Lords Park Lions! Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a safe, healthy, and restful break with family and/or loved ones. For many of us, we were not able to participate in normal winter break activities including, visiting with our entire families or friends in-person. This has been especially challenging since many have been minimizing large group contact since last March. The prospect of the new year reminds us of the importance of hope, resilience, and a renewed commitment to caring for ourselves and others.  Hope that community-wide health conditions continue to improve and that we can steadily begin to enter the end of the global health pandemic. We look to hope for our school community as it heals from the traumas of the pandemic. Resiliency as we collectively overcome obstacles, innovating through hybrid in-person and distance learning while persevering through the second half of the school year. Care for ourselves and other
