So by now, I guess you guys have heard that all schools in NC will remain closed for the rest of the school year. We will continue online/homeschooling till the end of the school year in June. This is not the news any of us wanted to hear, but it's the news we got. I'll be honest with you guys, it sucks! I hate the idea that I won't see you guys again until next school year. It really breaks my heart!
