Week of May 18, 2026

As the school year comes to an end, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all an amazing summer break ahead. You've worked tirelessly throughout the year to shape the minds of our future, and now it's time for a well-deserved break. Whether you plan to relax at the beach, explore new places, or spend quality time with loved ones, I hope your summer is filled with joy, laughter, and good memories. I'm on contract through June 10 and will be back on July 6, if you need anything. I will miss you, but I am excited to see what #rjlyear13 brings us with our dream team!
