Hijacking her legendary slogan seemed like fun though, don't you think? Or was it John MaCaine who came up with that line. Okay, now on to today’s entertaining story about ...

Why they decided not to run a full day—1:30 for Pre-Prep, 2:30 for prep, is a mystery to me and a few other parents. “We’re getting out at 12 today”, I sai...
