Holiday Party Fun and more


For those of you who were able to make it, thanks so much for coming to our holiday party on Dec. 15. It was truly a fun, festive, and happy occasion, which everyone seemed to enjoy.

I always love it when we can all get together and I know the children do, as well. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful class (that's including you, parents), one which has truly become a true school family.

I want to thank you for the thoughtful and generous gifts you gave me, both as a class, and individually. (Once my jet-lag subsides, I will be writing my thank you notes.) I felt so very loved and appreciated, so thank you!

Please be sure to enjoy these pictures, which Mikyung so lovingly took, edited, and shared. They so beautifully capture the love, joy, and fun of our time together.




And, here are some fun pictures of our Grade 3 Team. We always have such a great time together!
