Hello, Bauercrest families! It's really happening... Staff Week is only one month away! This is such an exciting time for those of who've been planning out this summer all year long.

What Are We Waiting For?
When I think back on this past year and all the times I abruptly ended a conversation with my kids with a “Fine. Whatever,” I am reminded once again that I will not be up for any Mother of the Year awards. It’s probably just as well; I have nothing to wear anyway.
