I want to thank all of you for such a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you very much for your gifts of cards, flowers, candy and a scrip gift certificate. As I am moving into a new house on June 5, I will certainly find a good use for the scrip. The luncheon was very enjoyeable as well.
What a fabulous Spring Fling! Thank you for all your help with everything.
