Good Morning, Burlington!

Just a reminder that Burlington Public Schools will not be in session today. Don’t let those cars in the parking lot fool you; the teachers and other staff will be on site for professional development, but kids aren’t invited! They’ll be rested up and ready for children bright and early tomorrow morning.

Friday Funny

I forgot to include this yesterday, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity for a nerdy Friday Funny. This is the kind of resolution I can get behind!

That’s it for today. Have a great one, and I’ll see you tomorrow!
