3^rd Grade Families,

Thank you for spoiling me for Teacher Appreciation week! Honestly, I feel so grateful I get to be a teacher! Some days are long (LOL) but I feel blessed to do the work I do and it means a lot to have such great students and families. I adore the handwritten notes, but what I treasure the most is being a small part of your child’s journey. Thank you!!!
