Good afternoon Bobcats,

I hope that you all had an enjoyable winter weekend.  I love all that a snow brings - time with family, hot chocolate, and just slowing down a little.  Monday, January 20 will be another day of reflection as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Have a great week!

Kristin
