* * Staff Appreciation * *
Our gratitude to each of the Rose Glen staff members who lead our children day by day. The phrase, "thank you", seems so small for the appreciation we hold for each of you in our hearts. Your hard work, dedication, time and patience do not go unnoticed. We leave each of you with the following poem that we believe sums up how our children feel:
Our fingerprints are everywhere -
on your books, your board, your desk and chair.
We know you take them home each day,
on your bags and your clothes, as you drive away.
While there are some that may always be seen,
most can be washed and come off clean.
But the fingerprints you've left on us
are anchored in love and coated with trust.
Our minds and hearts you reach
with each lesson you teach,
leaving traces of love, wisdom and gladness.
You've kissed our boo boos and cured our sadness.
Though your days are long and often a drain,
Know that on us your loving fingerprints remain!
Thank you for your hard work, commitment, and dedication.

* * A Fond Farewell * *
Rose Glen Families:
What an amazing two years it has been! It's been an honor and a privilege to have served on the PTO Board as President. I am grateful for the support that each of the PTO Chairpersons, volunteers, teachers and administrative staff have provided over the years. It's been a pleasure to work with this community of families to help support the kids. Whether it was the fall fundraiser discount card, the project playground committee, classroom assistance, or raising school spirit at events like sock hop and parent/child outings, we have done a fantastic job and it has benefited our children!
As we wrap up the year, we still have several FUN events to look forward to. Field Day is right around the corner and a favorite of all who attend, which includes field games and laughter! Please consider volunteering for an hour if you can. It's always a pleasure seeing friendships blossom and teamwork in action!
We also look forward to celebrating our Fifth Grade Class as they prepare to leave elementary school for new adventures and the transition to middle school. A dinner celebration ends with an energetic musical to bid a fond farewell to our fifth grade families. Consider taking an hour to assist in set up, serving dinner, or cleaning up on June 6th.
Please remember to take a few moments out of your busy day to thank our Rose Glen Teachers and Support Staff! Rose Glen is a special community because they 'empower each student to become a confident, life-long learner by providing developmentally appropriate instruction in a nurturing, cooperative, and stimulating environment!'
While I wish to leave you with some profound inspirational statement, I only say this,
Family First.
Put your phone down...
Remember to encourage your little ones.
Stand strong with them.
Spend time with them.
Read to them. Play ball with them. Roll in the grass.
Make dinner together.
Talk about hopes and dreams!
Slow down...life moves fast.
I hope for you to have a freaking AWESOME Summer! Enjoy those kids! Have fun! Remember to LAUGH, LIVE and LOVE often!
By working together, we can make things happen!
Sincerely,
Dani Williamson, PTO President
