Upcoming School Year

I can't believe it is time to start thinking about the upcoming school year already!!  I am super excited to find out which boys will be a part of my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this year.  We are going to have a great time growing and learning together.  I can't wait to meet you all and find out your interests.  As you are picking out your school supplies, there are two things that were accidentally left off of the school supply list...

1.  Everyone needs a pair of scissors
2.  If you would like to bring your own earbuds, that would be great!!  The school does supply earbuds but they sometimes break easily.  Many boys like to have their own that are more comfortable.

I will be posting more as back to school grows closer.  Enjoy your last few weeks of summer vacation!!
