Happy Independence Day!
How are you celebrating today?! 😎🎆
Hello Star Family!
Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no classes tonight due to storms forecasted.
My number one priority is that all families are safe and with the unknown potential of severe weather with possible tornado activity, it doesn’t seem smart to have people traveling to class. Make sure to keep up with at home practice!
Thank you for understanding. See you back in class tomorrow!
