I really think that spring has finally sprung here in North Georgia. I want to encourage EVERYONE to get outside as much as possible and play! I know that may sound silly, but research shows that children who get outside and play do better in school compared to the children who stay inside and play video game day after day. Please take some time to enjoy the beautiful weather yourself.
A special THANK YOU goes to everyone that came out last Friday and supported our Bruster's Scooper Night. We were able to raise over $400 to go towards our 5th grade field trip to Atlanta. As soon as I have more specific information for you about the field trip, I'll pass it along as soon as possible. Thank you!
