This and That

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Every 6 months I participate in something called the dry-
triathlon at my gym. I did one way back in September and completed another one on Saturday. It’s not
your typical triathlon, it’s much shorter, and no swimming involved (just rowing), but it still felt like a big
accomplishment. Then, Mr. H and I enjoyed a St. Patrick’s Day festival with our family.
Thank you for sending in so many STEM supplies for our leprechaun traps. Unfortunately, we didn’t
catch a leprechaun, but we had fun and learned a lot. You will see your child’s STEM planning book in his
or her blue folder today and some pictures will be posted on our website.
