There's No Place Like Home

Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Cross Country - something everyday! We ended the week with Flex Friday and Booster Pizza. In the middle of all that fun and competition, we LEARNED stuff, make sure you read about that below. We have had an awesome week and we hope you have too!
 
When I returned on Tuesday from my vacation (pictured above are the blue waters of Castaway Cay, Bahamas) I felt like I had been gone an eternity, which I guess is a good thing since I was really only away from Thursday through Monday. As much fun as it was, it is always good to come home. I am glad to be here, as Dorothy says, "There's no place like home."
 

We will see you Monday - remember early dismissal next Friday. Have a terrific weekend!
