Happy New Year!

 Welcome, 2022!

Happy New Year, Willow River Staff!

I hope your holidays and break were amazing - and that you were able to eat, drink and be merry with family and friends as much as I did =)  It is my wish that everyone was able to rest, refresh, and revel in time spent on the things that you enjoy doing.

The end of December is always a crazy mix of school, home, and end of year things to do - which often makes January sneak up on us!  When I was thinking about what to put in the blog today, I thought about something inspirational about setting goals, etc. - but then realized, we just need a heads up on what's coming up in the next few weeks!
