Woohoo!

I'd like to thank all of the 1st Round HSA participants for their exemplary performance.  This is the first time one of my classes has recorded 100% proficiency on the assessment!  'Way to go!  You should all be proud of not only achieving this level of proficiency, but also the 'business-as-usual' way in which you did it!

While I realize that this percentage reflects only 1 class out of 6, let's savor the moment! Outstanding Job!
