Almost There!

We don't have a countdown going in the classroom, but in their heads they have all sorts of countdowns going - until Christmas, until the last day of school before break, until their birthday, until Hanukkah, until they just get to stay home for a few days and spend time with family!  Your countdowns are likely a bit different - until you need to have big meals ready, until you have to have gifts wrapped, until you have to have bags packed to travel, and much more.  As stressful as this time of year is, it is also one of the happiest.  I genuinely hope your holidays are filled with time spent in front of the fire, candy, and great family and friends.

Important Dates and Reminders:

12/12 - GO GREEN WITH GRALAND
