Go Jump in a Puddle

This is has been a very busy week for everyone! We have been on a couple field trips and team building trips. There has been PSAT testing and Student Conferences. Our winter sports season has begun. We held an open house and a GAPSEC (GA Assoc. of Private Schools for Exceptional Children) meeting as well. Then tomorrow is the IDA Dyslexia Dash (there is still time to register with our team)! Overall it has been a full week. Looking forward to next week we will have Be Kind Week which has lots of great activities scheduled that I can't wait to share with you.
 
We need rain, but don't really want it. We complain when we don't get it, and we complain when we do. Let's all be positive about it, we do need it. Go outside and jump in a puddle tomorrow (yes moms, dads, grandparents, you TOO). Let's just enjoy it.
Have a terrific weekend!
