We hope your student had a safe, relaxing spring break. With break behind them, many students turn their focus toward the end of the semester. While it seems far away now, it will be May and the beginning of finals week before they know it. Encourage your student to enjoy their final weeks of the semester, and take advantage of end of year activities as they become available.
As always, review past issues of this newsletter on our Stay in Touch page.
Love and Honor,
Joe Hawkins
