I feel like I have been gone forever! But I am back and hoping that you are all surviving February. I find it hard to believe that Thursday is Valentine's Day already.
I spent 4 days in Florida with my parents

and I have been so busy beginning a before school tennis program with my school. We have 180 students participating on Tuesday's K-2 and Thursday's.3-5 We designed 4 stations that the student's rotate through teaching various skills. We wrote a grant to USTA and they donated nets rackets and balls. The program runs an hour before school. I am enclosing a couple pictures. It is so much fun! The program will run 4 weeks and then we are having a pizza party at one of the local tennis clubs. They are donating all 8 courts for an hour and a half. WOW!
