Dear Mayfair friends and family,
It is hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us! Holidays can be a very busy time with family and friends, and we wish everyone a warm and loving holiday season. We hope that you take time to rest, relax, and unwind as 2017 comes to a close. A new year always brings so much promise of better things to come. We look forward to many fantastic adventures ahead of us in 2018!
Respectfully,
All Mayfair Lab Teachers and Staff
