I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing weekend. We are almost at the end of the year! On Friday, May 22nd, we will be having our end of the year celebration. It will be based of The Little House on the Prairie. More detail will come in the next couple days, but keep your eyes out for a Sign-Up Genius if you are interested in helping out our class!
