Hello all,

Happy New Year! The beginning of the school year always marks a time
of promise and possibility, and 2018-19 is no exception!
I hope you had a fantastic summer and are recharged and ready to return to school.
Our amazing and devoted staff has worked so hard to plan and prepare for the return
of all of our Ambrose students.  Going back to school is a reason for celebration
