(Parents, we played games the last couple of days of school. Don’t think we did that all year! Ha!)

I’m so sad to see the class of 2015 leave room 256. I’ve had a wonderful year with you guys.  Your parents were pretty great as well!  Good luck next year and come visit! I’m working on a slideshow, by the way…I’ll show on Wednesday.

Update for parents:  Our school email is not working properly at this time and we can only send emails out. I am not even sure if the emails I’m sending out are reaching you, but I am sure I am not getting any of your emails. Please do not be offended if I do not respond. If I don’t respond it means that I did not get your email…yet. Perhaps it will trickle down very soon!!!

Your ninth grader should be reading Life as We Knew It. Hopefully it is making them more grateful for the food you have in your house and electicity, etc. 😉 Nothing like end of the world novels. 🙂
