Image result for image of christmas treeIt's been a blast this past week here at Prairieview. Nothing gets you in the mood for the holiday season other than being surrounded by the joy and excitement of children. So fun! I wish you all a safe, fun, and festive winter break. The greatest gift is having a wonderful class like this! Thank you all for the wishes and gifts. I'm so lucky!
