A special thank you to the PTO  for organizing all the special treats this week.  Thank you for the cards, pictures, candy and flowers!   I love teaching your children. They are very special to me.  I have truly enjoyed working with each one of them this year.  I will be sad to see them go on to third grade.  I will miss them very much.

          Thank you to all of you who participated in this week’s meals.  The food was very good and it was so nice of you to think of the teachers.  It was very much appreciated!
