There's so much to celebrate this week! A very happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, and women who care for children in any capacity. I hope you get to relax and put your feet up! And Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all the wonderful teachers and school staff out there.  I hope you also get to relax and put your feet up this week. We know you deserve it!

Did anyone else catch Blacksburg High School's fantastic production of The Little Mermaid last weekend? It was so well done, and kudos to the cast and volunteers. I also want to give a shout to to all the families who joined us at Radford University's open house last weekend. What a beautiful new science building RU has created, and plan to visit the planetarium and geoscience museum soon.
