Happy Holidays

I wish all 3rd grade STM families a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is able to celebrate and enjoy this holiday season with family and friends. My family and I will be heading to Mesa, AZ where my mom lives during the winter season. We will be gone from December 24th-30th. I am looking forward to the warmer weather. Hopefully I will be able to wear shorts and get some sun while I am down there.
