WRAP UP THE SCHOOL YEAR

Catherine Holecko [+PROFILE('FIRSTNAME','Parent','PropCap')+]

In a sure sign of spring, I was recently approached by a PTA mom asking me to run for a position on next year's board. That school year flew by in a flash! As we come to the bittersweet final weeks, our family plans to make time to really take stock of the amazing progress our daughter has made and celebrate it. 

Of course, when Mother's Day rolls around (on May 11), I hope to be enjoying a special celebration of my own, complete with some homemade treasures and maybe some pampering too.

Does your family have a special way to mark the end of the school year? Talk about it on our message boards, or email me at Catherine@scholastic.com.

Happy Mother's Day!



Catherine
