School, school, school...

My oldest heads to Kindergarten in the fall, so I am in the thick of what I like to call "Big School Decision Hell". Charlotte has a ton of AMAZING schools, and there are SO many choices that it makes me a little crazy. I have heard from some Buzz readers that they would love a list of school open houses, so I'm working on one. A lot of the open houses are in the next couple of weeks, so I need your help. Check out my work-in-progress HERE, and email me dates and web links for other school open houses in the area...I need all the help I can get!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
