Tomorrow is our district's last day but I have a dr appt so today is it for me! It's been a crazy week for my family so I am so glad to be done! I mangled my finger with an electric hedge trimmer on...
Woo! The last weeks of school when teachers and students have all had enough! Let the crazy complaints roll!! What are the most off the wall student complaints you've had? My favorite end of year...
