This is a hectic time for every grade level in the high school, and students are looking a bit fatigued and ready for their Songkran holiday.  If you have plans for the holiday, make sure that they include some downtime for your sons and daughters.  They’ve been working very hard since January and need to re-charge their batteries.  Hopefully they can get a bit of sun, be outdoors, and maybe even read a book that’s not assigned for school!

HS/MS Parents, check this out:
