Brady’s safety device for Santa

 A parachute and a cushioned safety vest! Very cool — and double the safety! Smart thinking, Brady! 

Happy 2021!

 I can’t wait to see you all on Monday. A new year! A new semester! New opportunities to try and to learn something you didn’t know! 

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us. 

Merry Christmas!
