WQCC

We’re a little late posting for International Women’s Day… but in our defence, yesterday was only a 23-hour day thanks to the time change! ⏰

Honestly, it feels very on brand — women everywhere still managed to fit 24 hours' worth of strength, leadership, support, and inspiration in one hour less. 💪

Belated Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women in our community. We appreciate everything you do, today and every day! 💜💐

It’s March Break time! 🎉

To our awesome students and staff — you’ve earned it! Sleep in, travel safe, make memories, and enjoy the downtime.

See you back soon, recharged and ready to finish the year strong 💪
