Dear Reader —

I’ve had a fairly empty inbox this last week – I can only assume it’s because you’re all insanely busy with end-of-year activities and not because you’ve forgotten about me!  #GodForbid  As for myself, I have been starting to make my summer plans, so I must admit, I’m not too sad about the lack of correspondence.

I have declared this: the Summer of Game Shows!  I have already secured my spots on Wheel of Fortune in early June (gotta get in some quality Sajak time before he retires!), Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader (I’ve got serious doubts about this one) in July, and I’ll be wrapping up my summer as a contestant on The Amazing Race!  Terry and Bernie are pretty peeved that I didn’t ask either of them to be my partner, but asking my pal Caj was no no-brainer!  You see Saint Cajetan is the patron saint of gamblers, and after all, it seemed like a really big gamble to think that I’d be able to finish the Amazing Race! 

I know there is one more week of school for your little angels, but since is the last official newsletter for this school year, I too am signing off for the year as of today!  I will be spending my next week gathering hiking boots, reviewing my times tables, and doing bicep curls to ensure a good spin of that wheel!  If you’ve got burning questions over the summer feel free to send them over, but as the youngins say: I’m slamming my laptop shut until August. 

I’ll be back to your regularly scheduled programming on Aug 24th at the latest. I hope you all have a joyful and sunkissed summer.  Once again, I have loved being your Ghostly Guide through the school year. I can’t wait to see how much taller all these kids get over the summer and I can’t wait to hear from each of you next school year!
