It seems like the kiddos just went back to school, and already we’re starting to talk about turkeys and Santa Claus (although if you’ve got young kids, they probably never stopped talking about Santa Claus). Public school districts in the Chippewa Valley offer varying dates for Thanksgiving and winter vacations, so take a look at the list below and put these dates on your calendar. Note: Some schools have early-release dates immediately before these stretches of vacation, so be sure to check with your children’s teachers and principals.
