I hope you have all had a relaxing and fun Spring Break! It is hard to believe that I only have a short nine weeks left with your children. This is always a bittersweet time for me. It has been a pleasure witnessing the emotional and academic growth of each child these past three quarters and it saddens me to think of them heading upstairs to bigger and better things. I am looking forward to finishing this year strong and am so grateful for everything you have done to make this possible.
