Dear Georgia PTA Members,

As we approach the much-anticipated Spring Break, I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt well wishes to each and every one of you.

Spring Break marks a time for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Whether you're planning an exciting getaway or simply enjoying quality time with loved ones at home, I encourage you to make the most of this well-deserved break.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's essential to prioritize self-care and embrace moments of joy and tranquility. Whether you're basking in the sunshine, exploring new adventures, or simply taking time to unwind, may this Spring Break bring you renewed energy and cherished memories.

As we look ahead to the remainder of the school year, let's return refreshed and revitalized, ready to continue our important work in supporting Georgia's students, families, and communities.

Wishing you all a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Spring Break!

Warm regards,

Anita Hagins Jones
