Dear Parents, 

Our LAST six weeks together! Where in the world did the time go? I don’t think I can adequately explain how blessed I am to teach your children. They are all curious, hard working, silly, loving, understanding, ecstatic, and a gracious group of students. They have experienced many challenges this year and have risen to the occasion. It may have taken some time but they always come through. Thank you for sharing your child with me this school year. I am touched that you all have been so supportive this year as well. Thank you for always being patient with me and understanding as we worked together as a team for your child. It means so much to me. I am very honored to serve your child as their teacher. It has been an absolute pleasure and blessing. 

Love, 

Miss Sessions
