Volume 9
A Final Note
Dear English students and parents,
Sadly, this is the last newsletter you will be getting from me this year - which I must say, has gone by way too quickly. As you all head out to enjoy a fun, safe summer, know that I have had a blast working with each and every one of you this year. You have all come such a long way and I cannot wait to see the big things the future holds for you.
Parents, thank you for entrusting me with your child's education and sharing your wonderful children with me. Coppell kids are the most special kind of kids, and I thank you for that.
Students, thank you for working hard and growing all year long. I hope you are leaving my class not only with a better understanding of literature and writing, but with a few life lessons, too. You may not believe it, but while I was teaching you, you were teaching me along the way.
I will miss you more than you know.
I am so proud of all of your accomplishments this year, and please come see me next year in C223 – my door will forever be open to you.
Love always, and remember to always be fired up, ready to go!
Mrs. Neal
