HOLIDAZE! Plus puzzles, activities & much more!

or simply taking time to rest, I hope your holidays are filled with joy, peace, and laughter. You’ve worked hard this semester, and you deserve a well-earned break to recharge and reconnect. The holidays also remind us of the importance of kindness, gratitude , and giving . I’ve seen these values shine through your actions — in the classroom, on the playground, and in your communities. Thank you for being a part of what makes our schools so special.
