Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for all you have meant to me this year. Due to my husband's ministry relocation, we will be moving to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your child. I've told many, "This is the class I have waited 10 years for!". They have been so much fun and challenging to teach. I will miss each one of them and the NWH family. Your child is a blessing!
SCHOOL WILL BE DISMISSED AT 2:30 on Friday.
"Carl Albert Park Day" on THURSDAY! We will be at the park in the morning and for lunch. Parents are invited to visit us at the park. Students need a sack lunch and a drink. If you do come.....bring me a diet coke from the "C" store!
FRIDAY afternoon we will have a mini-celebration for our students with summer birthdays and be cashing in our Super Student Bucks for the last time. If your child has a summer birthday and you would like to send a treat please do so. We have 19 students. I will be supplying the drinks.
