 Notes from the Teacher:
I want to thank all you wonderful parents for helping with the AR Picnic!  What a fun time we had playing in the rain!  Thanks so much for bringing the coolers, gathering the tables at the park, and then waiting in the rain for almost 2 hours for us to finally get there!  You made the day extra special!  Thanks again!  


  I can’t believe it is already the end of the school year.  It seems to have flown by!  I want you to know that I have enjoyed every minute with your children. This is a very special class.  They are smart, religious, and lots of fun!  We have had some great times.  Thank you for sharing them with me this year!
