This is it! You are on your way to middle school...We will miss you!

To my almost middle schoolers,

   This is the time of year where we reflect on all that we have done in 5th grade and look forward to all that you will accomplish.  I have had a wonderful time with both my morning class and afternoon class, teaching you, listening to you, and going a little crazy with you as we have inched our way to the end of the year.  You have all made tremendous growth and I know you will transition to middle school in style and with excitement.

   Thank you for being yourselves and sharing all that makes you interesting, funny and unique. It has been a true pleasure seeing you each day and making memories that will last a lifetime. Enjoy your summers and please remember to let me know how you're doing in the months to come.  I look forward to hearing about all your experiences and successes.

Love,
Mrs. French
