So Long but not Goodbye

The end of the year is such a bittersweet time.  We're all looking forward to summer break, but we're going to miss the friends we're leaving behind.  I wish the very best to my dear, precious students and their families as you journey from the elementary school over to the middle school.  It has been my pleasure and my honor to be your teacher this year.  You all mean so much to me!  I hope that you will keep in touch, because you will always be a part of me.  I think the following poem may say it best.

Best wishes to you all!  Thank you for a great year!
