End of the Year Farewell
Parents and wonderful, treasured students:
The school year is almost over and I want to take this time to thank you all for all that you have done this year.
Parents, without you, my class would be chaos and my job much harder. Thank you for your support, contributions, and, above all, your children. You acknowledged that it takes a village to raise a child and were supportive along the way. Thank you.
Students, I love each and every one of you. We’ve had some wonderful adventures in learning this year. My hope is that you continue to aspire for more learning as you grow into the adults that will one day run our country (I can’t say I’m worried). You are all unique and deeply treasured. Thank you to those who beat to the sound of your own drum. You certainly kept our class hopping! Thank you to my leaders who love to be heard. Thank you to my quiet, thoughtful ones. I see a lot of myself in you. Thank you to my bubbly, energetic ones. You took on every project with spunk. Thank you to my sweet, sensitive ones. Your kindness was evident in all that you did. I have enjoyed teaching you and learning from you (you do know that you never stop learning?) as we have had celebrations, testing, hikes, field trips, and the many other learning inspired events. You are all why I do what I do. I hope you all have a magnificent summer filled with learning and rest. I look forward to seeing those of you who will be returning next year and will miss those of you who are going on to other schools.
