Sea World/End of the Year
What a wonderful day!!! We had so much fun!! All of the students were great. We flipped upside down and got soaking wet!! Some saw Shamu while others just hung around. Thank you to all the parents that helped us out today. We would not be able to do it without you!!
Also, Thank you to all the parents. You guys have been amazing all year. Anything and everything that we have asked you guys have done. Even when History Fair and Science Fair were going on at the same time, you guys still did not hurt us. Just kidding. Each one of the students has a special place with me. I will never forget this year!!! It has been the best year so far. Even though I will not teach your students next year, if there is anything that I can do please feel free to ask.
Have a wonderful and safe summer!!!!!
