Happy Friday, everyone! As we transition into the beautiful chaos of spring, finding moments of calm and simplicity can feel like a challenge. This past week was a wonderful whirlwind for me, spent celebrating the incredible educators at my son’s school during various teacher appreciation events. It was truly a joy to extend heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff for their unwavering commitment, especially through the unique challenges of the last two years. To all the teachers out there, please know how much your tireless efforts mean to us – you are truly superheroes!
