Happy New Year!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

I wish you all a very happy holidays and a happy new year.  This past fall was been great, yet more fun is yet to be had.  There is much to look forward to in the coming months. 

Here are a few things to look forward to this spring:

  • The Fifth Grade Play – “No Strings Attached” – auditions start Monday the 5th (the day we come back)
  • Wagon’s West
  • Virtual Post Cards
  • Philadelphia
  • Civil War Reenactors
  • Electricity
  • and so much more

Continue to put forth the extra effort and you will continue to succeed.  Read daily, smile often, and remember how we define good character.  I will see you all next year.
