Paternity Leave


Due to the early birth of my new son Martin, I'll be on leave until March 8th. I'll also be taking another month leave in April / May. Nathan Pier, a trusted friend, will be filling in while I'm gone. I will be checking in with him on a daily basis. In the meantime, please email me (tgraham1@pps.net) if you have any questions or concerns.

Keep up the hard work.

Thanks. See you soon.

Mr. Graham
