May 27-30

Well.....It's HERE! The end of school has made it! What a year we have had. I have many mixed emotions about the end of the year. Of course, I am excited about the SuMmEr! I mean, who isn't? But, I'm going to miss my kiddos so much. This class has been such a fun and exciting class. I pray for the brightest future ahead of all of them. I know they can do everything and anything they want in life. I hope next year is a great year for them and that they continue to grow into the great little citizens I know they will be!
