Happy Friday!

It was a great short week which often can make the 4-day week seem really long. Our students worked hard and did a great job. Our theme week was a big success. It was very impressive to see the creativity of all the students (and staff). What stood out to me the most was today's theme, "Soccer Mom's and BBQ Dads." I am curious as to why so many of the students who dressed up like dads wore aprons and had extended bellies. Dad's and dad figures, we need represent better! 😃
