MY FAVORITE THINGS

I love going on vacation, even if it is a ‘staycation’ in my backyard.  As school starts to let out, some of you will be going away to visit family or friends, or maybe to camp somewhere.  Whatever you do, or wherever you go, stay safe and have fun.  Making memories is what it is all about.  Have a GREAT summer!
