Today is the last day before our break begins. Today will be a pretty fun day. We are surprising our principal by all wearing shirts that have a special message about going to college. Our school is big about building a college mindset. I will try to have HH take a picture of the class in our shirts.
Tonight is basketball in the hood. I get to watch my kids play. I have four basketball players and four cheerleaders. I will be adding pictures of that too.
Let the festivities begin!
