Memorial Day

A Jack Snap from the last day of school, when they had an ill-fated Water Fun Day during which all the children's lips turned blue. It's May, in TUCSON, and the temperatures aren't creeping past 80 degrees. And we're going camping today. Lakeside. Brrrr.

Have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Watch this little video. Never forget. Strive to inspire.

I love seeing your end of school year photos. They've made me a little "homesick" for my teaching days... Bring on Summer!
