Back To School Grant from Meemic
As the title of this week's blog states, "Can it already be May?" It's great that it's almost May, but good grief, it's almost May! I have no idea how many days of the school year are left (and please don't tell me) but I know that there is so much more that I need to do for you and the kids and there is so much more for you to do for each other and the kids. To quote High School Musical Jr., which was awesome, by the way- "We're all in this together!"
Be the one!
