Isn't this picture lovely? It was taken two years ago when I spent the summer in Singapore with my husband. We visited many beautiful places, one of them being Bali. I really did take this picture with my camera...I promise!
I hope everyone had a wonderful week off from school; I know I did. I spent my week spending time with family and friends in charming Naperville and downtown Chicago. It was perfect! How lucky we are to have had some true spring-like weather this week. Now it's back to school for the final stretch; and I'm ready. Please take a few minutes to check your grade level page.
The April meeting for our IPPA PTA has been changed from April 21 to April 28.
In addition to our election and an Administration update, we'll have a presentation from Scott Meech — Education Professional Development Executive from Apple, Inc.
Scott will present information about technology trends in education, with a focus on Gifted Education. He likely will touch upon some interesting resources available from Apple.
