Maternity Leave
As next week draws near, so does my maternity leave. My last day will be Wednesday, and I will be out until the first week of May. The wonderful Mrs. Froats will be here subbing for me. She will do an excellent job. I'm very excited about embarking on my new journey in life, and am glad that I will be able to do that, and be able to finish out the school year with my students. Have a great spring!
