Carole,

Wish Ben a Happy Birthday for me

Nine years old, no school and the start of summer, what could be better?

What a bummer, another month of school and now is the best weather of the year. shrug

Our school year is typically the first week in September until early to mid Jun. Ending dates vary due to the number of days missed due to snow. School districts may vary by a few days one-way or another depending on local practices. Maryland districts usually start a week before Virginia districts. Some districts allow more time off at Christmas or spring break but they all have to meet a minimum number of days in session as federally mandated.

My wife, in her second career, was a 3^rd grade teacher. The school she worked at was in a pilot program for year round school. This schedule provided two 2 and two 3 week breaks during the year; Christmas, Easter, July and October – a break every 8-weeks. The number of school days was the same as at traditional schools but the vacation days were repackaged to be more consistent throughout the year. Most people liked the scheduled – even the kids.

Hi Cas , Ben. A belated happy birthday Ben and I hope you got lots of presents. Ask your nanna what I'm like, I always forget things. I once got off a plane in Kenya while going to work in Tanzania. Only 4 days late for that one.
Lots of Love
David
