Winter Is Here!

We all know that winter driving conditions can be dangerous. The problem with winter driving is that we often feel rushed, just like during warmer weather, and we forget to give ourselves extra time. The weather in central Illinois is unpredictable! Today was the first real taste of winter conditions that we have experienced thus far, and there were several cars in the ditches by 8:30am. The blacktop, Route 29, the Post Road, and the numerous country roads that our students, parents, and employees drive everyday are prone to poor conditions. It is easy to say "remember to give yourselves extra time each morning." In reality, it is difficult to get everyone out the door on time every day. I have two grade school children and every morning is a different adventure. With this in mind, I plan to give my family a little extra time each morning to make it out the door. I hope you will all do the same. Drive safely and enjoy the upcoming holiday season.
