So long June. Hello July!

The month of June has been pretty awesome for the Posick family.  Lauren graduated from high school.  We got to hang out at Fox Lake.  Lauren signed up for classes at UW-Oshkosh.  We had Lauren's graduation party.  I had the honor of attending the ISTE conference in Chicago.  July is just around the corner and we'll be hanging out more at Fox Lake and visiting friends in Atlanta.  We're taking a vacation that has nothing to with running a marathon or a dance competition.  It will be great!  I hope that you all get to have a chance to continue connecting with your family and friends during July.  There's still time for you to relax, recharge, and reflect before we kick off the 2018-2019 school year.
