A Letter From You Teacher
I hope that this new month and new year finds each of you happy, healthy and ready for an amazing second semester of 6th grade! The next few months will fly by so make sure to cherish each moment and milestone as they occur!
At this time of year, I find myself reflecting on the many blessings in my life. I can certainly say that my relationship with you and your children is at the top of my list! Whenever anyone asks me about my students, I cheerfully respond that I have the best students EVER! So, thank you for raising such amazing, inquisitive, and respectful young men and women!
Warmest wishes for a wonderful new year!!
