Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear 4S,
Mrs. Boyd and I would like to thank you all very much for our generous gifts!  I know Mrs. Boyd loves Charming Charlie and will have a hard time deciding what to get!  As for me, I can't wait to go shopping at, Jeans and a Cute Top Shop over break!  Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated and we absolutely love coming to school every day to spend our time teaching and learning with you!

We hope you have a joyus, relaxing, exciting Winter Break with family and friends...after all, that's what the season is all about: cherishing your loved ones and reflecting on the wonderful things we have in life. 

We are thankful to have such a wonderful group of children to teach, and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you next year! :)

Many thanks,
Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Schroeder
