It's crazy to think the school year is more than halfway done. My son had a blast at his elementary school's sock hop on Friday, and he's already looking forward to mid-winter break in less than two weeks. Time sure flies, especially when we need to make meaningful changes to help every student get what they need in order to succeed. |
