Happy Mother's Day!
Over the past week, students have been busy planting flowers, making Shrinky Dinks necklaces, decorating fingerprint flower frames, and writing sweet notes about their moms. The results were adorable… and occasionally hilarious.
A few favorite highlights from their writing:
- One mom is apparently 93 years old.
- Another mom’s favorite activity? SLEEP.
- And several kids simply wrote, “She’s the best!”—and honestly, we agree.
We hope all our Riccardi moms had a relaxing Mother’s Day full of love (and maybe a nap or two).
