Failsafe Cross-Country March Break 2011 Activities
Carly Maga
February is the shortest month of the year, and it sure felt like it this time around. But while parents are still occupied with the day-today bustle, kids have been patiently awaiting the month of March and what it will bring: plenty of puddles to splash in, green cookies on St. Patrick’s Day, and the Holy Grail – March Break!
