Thank You!

Dear 1C Students and Parents,

Our Valentine Party was a huge success! Thank you to all the parents who volunteered and sent in food items. The kids had a blast!

I also would like to say "thank you" for spoiling me with all the cards, candy, gifts and flowers. I really felt "loved" on this special day. I will especially enjoy using the class gift: a gift card for a pedicure and the Amazon gift card for a shopping spree. It was all so generous!

I am a very LUCKY teacher to work with your sweet children every day!
