The Polar Plunge and Dress-Up for Reading Week!

        I hope you all had a restful and relaxing weekend! It sure was nice having a surprise three-day weekend. I wanted to show you some pictures of the Polar Plunge that I participated in and that many of you came to watch and support. It sure was a cold swim! If you look closely, you can see some little kindergarteners to the left of where we jumped! It was fun hearing them chant, "Miss Miller! Miss Miller!"




Here is a picture of my sister, Erin, and me. She jumped with some high school teachers. 


My grandma and older sister, Jenna, even came to support us!


I wanted to remind all of you that this next week is dress-up week for I Love to Read month.
