Ahhh! Spring!  I love this time of year where everything begins to blossom. This is the time in Las Vegas that we wish the weather would stay just as it is, balmy warm instead of blaring hot.

By this point of spring break, you are either really loving the time with your kids and being away from a normal schedule, or you are ready to get back at it and send the them back to school.

This year we had a late spring break, which makes that last push to the end of the year really short. Encourage your kids to gear up and get ready to end the school year with gusto. There are some great weeks of learning ahead of us! And spring fever to fight through!

As this week comes to a close, I challenge you to use the weekend to find some lazy time with your children just talking, playing a game, or going for a walk.

Have a great Easter weekend and get ready for the last 5 weeks of school!

Despite the wind and worry of pending rain, Journey’s field day ended up being a great success. The weather held for us and was actually just right for running and playing games.

Mr. Viramontes, our fitness teacher, organized the day, complete with the LVBarstarzz joining us to help the student with some fun challenges.

The Journey Parent Organization provided lunch, snacks, water, and volunteered in other places during the day.

Thanks everyone for making our annual field day so much fun!

It’s that time of year to look forward to next year and plan… Plan what we will do this summer and plan for what we will do next school year. As part of next school year’s planning, we are holding nominations for the Journey Parent Organization positions. Executive board positions include the President, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer.

Nominate yourself or a fellow parent who would be a great leader in the parent organization at Journey. The JPO executive board makes final decisions on how funds are spent, plan activities for our students and head fundraisers to make it all happen. Nomination forms can be found in the lobby.

Journey parents are amazing! Whether or not you hold a leadership position in the JPO, there are so many ways to be involved. Talk to one of the executive JPO board members to let them know you want to help. Many hands make light work and fun work! We need you!

Did your early school days include a traditional holiday play? Do you remember wearing a turkey or celery costume or playing some silly part? Childhood memories to cherish!

This past week was Journey Education’s 10^th annual Thanksgiving play, a fun tradition I look forward to every year.  It’s a heartwarming evening that create funny childhood memories. And whether the play runs seamlessly, or is full of mishaps, I enjoy every moment because the students are so cute and really put themselves out there.

This year we even had a band of semi-non-professional musicians, some who have never performed before, hello bells.

Our Thanksgiving annual play is the best way to welcome the start of the holidays. I hope every part of the next few months brings lots of good memories.
