Snap Grades

Author: Sharon Girodo

Oct 10

The School Year: It’s a Wrap!

Author: Sharon Girodo

May 23

It’s all so sudden.  The school year goes on & on.  A little activity here, a little activity there and then just as school is about out…the craziness escalates to unbelievable proportions.  So much now to do in so little time!  With five kids in four different schools there’s a lot to think about.  Signing permission papers, handing out money…that turns into my job.  There’s field trips to fun Read the rest of this entry
