This Week's Connection

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence.  To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. ~ Pearl S. Buck

April  and May are very busy months with field trips and testing.  Please check our classes' online calendar to be aware of all the dates and times for testing. Also, make sure your student is getting plenty of rest and eating a good breakfast for all of these events.
