See pictures from our Wax Museum yesterday below!  :)  I also added an interesting Thinglink I found today, just for fun!  
Happy Valentine's Day, and thanks again to all our volunteers/donors!

Homework:

2) Read 20 minutes (and every single day if your reading log grade is a little low to bring that up!)

3) Missing work for Friday Fun tomorrow!  (remember that races will be on during Friday Fun--I'll bring my sneakers! :)
