March 2019 Edition

Vision:  Explore! Excite! Empower!

As spring sets in and "the tests" approach, we offer you a silly limerick for the month of March.

 

There is a school called Mayfair.

It is run with great diligence and care.

Its students learn a great deal.

Its parents support it with great zeal.

Even when testing is in the air.
