I bet right now you are saying "What? An email? But I thought we didn't have school next week?"
Well, you are right. Don't try to take your kid to school because it is closed. :-) Hopefully, this week everyone will have a chance to recharge their batteries and get ready for the end of the school year.
I hope everyone has a fabulous week. Below are a few things you might want to know.

We Need Your Help for Teacher Appreciation Week!
