JWO Notes and Market Report 4-20-23

Big enough to make a difference, small enough to care!!

Sunday night into Monday it snowed here.

A lot.

Some of the older children got to reminiscing… they wonder how it would be to have a snow day from school.

Apparently the first 15 years or so we had scholars we did not have one single snow day at Sunny Ridge School!

Not sure if it’s climate change, or people change, or some of each but this year alone we’ve had three weather cancellations.
