Soon enough, school will be out for the summer! I remember the excitement of this feeling while in school. From the students to the teachers, it seemed as if it was a celebration that we completed another year and had the summer off to enjoy.

We would sign each other’s yearbook, take down phone numbers to call one another and hang out. I hope that the same energy that we felt in school continues throughout different grades within the Hudson Valley. 

A Hudson Valley school is already looking ahead for summer and is planning to have meals for students.
