To the Fifth Graders of 2015

It has been a joy to teach you this year. We have had hard days and fun days but my favorite days have been the ones where we learned life lessons together. Please remember that I am here for you and I feel blessed to have been part of your lives. I can not wait to hear about all the wonderful things you accomplish. My challenge to you is to be kind.   There is a world to change with a simple act of kindness.  I think Mr. Tushman said it best....

"Be kinder than necessary"  

Congratulations Fifth Grade Class of 2015!!!
