5th Grade Graduation
See You Later Alligator
You will be missed!
It's May and the end of the school year is just around the corner. It's especially hard ending the year not being able to see our CSE fifth graders one more time - to wish them well, to give them hugs, to thank them for being a great class, a great student, and a great friend. Many of you I've known since kindergarten. Our friendship has grown strong over the years - spending time in group, individual chats and frequent hello's by my office door. My heart is heavy not being able to end the school year at school to see you one more time. Know that I am thankful for each and every one of you. I will keep close to my heart all the good times we've had, the laughter, (some tears) and all the wonderful memories we've made over the years. Some of you are ready and excited to take the leap to the middle school, others are nervous and unsure, but no matter what the feeling, you are all amazing and you got this! Soon you'll have new teachers, a new counselor, and opportunities to make some new friends, but don't forget about us here at the elementary school. My door is always open. Please come back and visit and let me know how you're doing. Although you will be missed, I am very excited to see what's in store for you next year. Embrace change, be open to new adventures, make a difference, work hard - wishing you all the best at the middle school!

You're going to have so many opportunities to make new friends at the middle school. Have fun adding unique colors of crayons to your box as new friendships are discovered and made.

Dear Graduates - A Message From Kid President
CSE Fifth Graders
I'm glad I was your counselor.
I've come to know you so
I can't believe the end is here
I hate to see you go!
Remember all the fun we had
In all the things we did
But most of all remember
You're a very special KID!
Best wishes on your CSE 5th grade graduation! It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be your elementary school counselor and get to know you during your elementary school years. Enjoy your new adventures at the middle school. Have a great summer and keep in touch!
Congratulations!
Mrs. van der Hagen
