Kudos!

• To all of you for getting your reports in! They have been a pleasure to read so far and I know how much work it takes to write such detailed feedback and goals. 
• To Larry and Mark for the wonderful new hooks that they have added to the MS corridor. I was amazed at how much cleaner and organized the MS Lounge was with these hooks added on Thursday. Kids have already commented on how much they like them. Depending on what happens this next week or so, we may reintroduce a beanbag too!
