💙 From one of our cherished families:
“Heather and the whole staff at Notre Dame Academy Minnetonka, MN is amazing! We are going to miss them so much and are thankful for the years with our girls. We are sad to say goodbye even if she is going one classroom down the hall! Luckily, we will still see them every day since we aren't going far!" 🥰
🙏🏽 We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful testimonial and can’t wait to see your young learner take the next BIG STEP up to kindergarten - just a few steps down the hall! 📚
