I would like to give a shout out to all my teacher friends who are finishing up their first week of school with kids today! Congratulations for making it through this very tiring week of school. Now gome home and enjoy your weekend with your family and do NOT come in to your classroom (Gina Friend) over the weekend. And a big thank you to Hope Marshall my substitute while I am off eating french bread and drinking very strong coffee. You are the best Hope!

Teachers are the hardest working people I know. They put in countless hours before school starts in the summer, over the weekends, at night, etc. And they do it because they love children, and they love their jobs. Kudos to all of you.
