Thank you all for making our return to in-person training such a wonderful experience! We appreciate each and every one of you for supporting our brilliant teachers, for asking board members countless times how you could help, for caring for each other and keeping us all safe and healthy, and for staying present and training hard together. We are so lucky to have spent such special time with you, our wonderful community!
