We hope all the students had a gym-dandy first week back to school and that nothing lessons your enthusiasm for learning! We’re sure you were so bright, the teachers had to wear shades.

We’re already looking forward to next June!

We took the shell off of our racing snail yesterday, thinking it would make him more streamlined and go faster. Doesn’t look like it worked. If anything it seems to have made him more sluggish.
