BISCUITS AND BOOKS

This was an awesome week!! We had Biscuits and Books on Tuesday. I was able to catch a few of you. Thank you for coming in spending time with us with your busy schedules. The kids enjoyed it!! We, also, had fun passing out Valentines and I absolutely loved all of my gifts. (I think the kids actually think their teacher is Wonder Woman!!)
