Congratulations to everyone!  I hope that you all gained something valuable from each of these experiences.

If anyone else would like to contribute any comments regarding their experience, please let me know.  We will be awarding prizes this week.

• Stretching Contest:  Adults, please work on your flexibility – it is the one thing that you will be very happy you did in the years to come.  Children should work on it as well, so that they won’t have to work on it as much when they are adults :).
