Hi there!
Just wanted to say thanks again for the opportunity to work with you all this week. My learning curve was huge- even though I know I saw a fraction of all the roles you do there. Hope the edit went well today…
Thanks again. You will hear from me next term!
Cheers, Shona Russo
LeFevrre High School
