MY THANK YOUs…
©     Thank you to those parents (and grandparents!) who volunteered to chaperone fieldtrips or who showed up just to enjoy the day with us!  Your help, as well as, your eyes, ears, and care while we were away from the safe confines of our school were invaluable!!
©     Thank you to all of you who helped to organize, bring in supplies, or “wrangle” kiddos during our parties.  It was so fun to celebrate with each other.  You made it all possible!
©     A HUGE thank you to my classroom parents…you do not even realize the magnitude of your help over the last year.  Thank you for the consistency of HFW tests, the hours spent copying, stapling, binding books, putting up bulletin boards, taking bulletin boards down, the art lessons, the time spent reading to my students and for just finding the time in your life to help me.  Your help was truly priceless!
©     ALL PARENTS!!!!  Thank you to every one of you who helped your child with math homework, read to your child, listened to your child read to you, or just took a vested interest in what they had to say about the happenings in B-3.  You have all made such an enormous difference in your child’s life.  As teachers, we cannot do it alone! I was the facilitator of learning this year, but you really are your child’s best teacher!! YOU have done such amazing work.  Your children are just EXTRAORDINARY!
