A message to Ms. Murillo's seniors: I want to let Seniors know that I appreciate the ones who are working hard. A lot of times those seniors don't get recognized enough. On that note, I need any outstanding work turned in as soon as possible. If you don't understand something, just let me know and we will work on it.
You have a stage to walk across in May, this is not the time to play
You have goals to reach right now, make the effort and take a bow
We are proud of you and what is in store, to a great future with blessings galore
With Best Wishes, Ms. Murillo
