I wish all my students and their families a safe and happy summer. Thank you for all that you have shared with me this year and all that you taught me.

Thanks for all of you who arranged to bring in gifts, juice, cake, cupcakes, chips and cookies.  It made our last day together that much more fun.

Have a great summer.  While I will be a different school next year I will still have ears and eyes at ALC who can let me know how you are doing in grade 6 or grade 7. I wish all those who are moving or changing schools good luck. I hope that you will visit the blog from time to time and leave a comment for my new students. It will be good for them to hear from some pros.

All the best, Mrs Smith
