Wavemakers Weekly, 5/13
Hi all,
Happy Mother's Day to all Wavemaker moms!
I had so much fun during our first week of practice! Lots of smiles and "this is so fun" comments...it was great to see! I know I'm sending longer emails, but there is important info to share. I'll do my best to keep them as short as possible! Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you to the parents that helped with bathrooms this week (Johnson, Toole, Homans, Magis-Graves, and Schaudies)!
