It's pretty remarkable to think about what we achieved this week. I might be well behind on lots of other things on my to-do list, but this move and the last two days were worth it. And to be clear, I wouldn't have wanted to do this with any other group of people. You are all worth your weight in gold. Thank you again.
I will raise a toast to you all and hope that it will be many years before the next time we can replicate the photo above again.

This will remain open until the end of next Tuesday, after which you can still request items/changes, but we will simply go through the normal channels of connecting with Ruth and me. We are working on the bulletin board situation - more to come!

If you have a student in your class, please give your feedback on the candidate in Committee Review in myAW. Not sure how to do this? Please check out Committee Review Directions- New Student Applicants doc.
