I hope all can make life long memories, full of laughter and smiles, during this two week break. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts. I am truly grateful for each one. As I told the students, I can't wait to snuggle up in bed with my new scarf/hat, cup of coffee in one hand and a fabulous book in the other.....and of course a shortbread cookie on the side (all made possible by you all!)
