Board approved instagram for Family engagement
Anyone else miss the exclusive invitation to be part of the ever-engaging Instagram account of Dr. Varley? This spectacular piece of social media was Board approved to keep you feeling like you are part of the community.

BOARD ZOOM MEETINGS
The Spindoctors, I mean 6-member “we will never agree with or listen to Ms. Akiri or Dr. Foregger, even when they make sense or have done their homework” bloc (D’Aquila, Penna, Cianciulli, Stanley, Young and Hyman) of Board members, are at it again.
