Thank you for being a part of The Aha! Connection!
 

I was contacted by a very reliable source yesterday that told me PCMS Principal, Brian Scott Heptinstall, will be re-assigned next year.  The announcement was made to his staff yesterday by Regional Superintendent Sherry Johnson.  The PCMS Foundation has also been informed and some parents have been told by their PCMS teachers.   I haven't seen anything official from DeKalb County but will post to my website when I do.  I certainly wish Heptinstall the best in his new assignment and hope for a good replacement.

The rest of today's newsletter has many community news articles plus, job and childcare announcements, events, giveaway reminders and more!  These are my personal top news articles for today:

Tatiana Answers: How to talk money with a spouse who doesn't want to discuss.

Dear Tatiana,
How do you handle talking about money and your future with money if your spouse never likes to talk about it. He says we are on the same page, but our financial strain tells differently. I want to be able to have a meaningful conversation and I get nowhere.  
Thanks,
