I have enjoyed each of your children. It has been a pleasure to watch them grow -- academically, socially and spiritually. We have had a great year. They have come a long way since last August and are now ready for 1st grade.
Good luck to those who are moving on. You will be missed. Your child is well prepared for his or her new school. For those who are returning, I look forward to seeing you in late August (Open House, Fri., August 28, 10:00-12:00 & First Day of School, Mon., August 31).
Thanks again for letting me share so many hours with your child! Have a safe and happy summer!
Sharon Stowers
PS. Our end-of-year party starts @ 10:45 on Friday. Parents are welcome to attend. Your child will not need to bring his folder or backpack on Friday. We have a noon dismissal.
