The Graduate

Congrats go out to Jessica Crough on her graduation last Saturday. Jessica received her Bachelor of Science in Education from Kansas State. She spent the past semester student teaching in a 5th grade classroom, and says she will most likely substitute teach during the upcoming spring semester.

We're proud of you Jess!

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. ~Madeleine L'Engle

Would you all join me in doing a cartwheel for the
birthday girl? (one-handed if you can!!)

Hope your birthday is a stellar one, Lyss!
We love you!

According to The Secret Language of Birthdays
(a gift from another Mrs. Maguire):

"December 7th people really need to take a lot of time off and
not put too many demands on themselves."

I say, listen to the stars!
