OUR SCHOOL YEAR NOW IS OVER.
WE HAVE STUDIED READING AND MATH.
BUT THE BEST THING WE HAVE LEARNED HERE
IS TO FOLLOW JESUS' PATH.
NOW WE SAY GOOD-BYE TO OUR CLASSMATES
BUT OUR FRIENDSHIPS WILL NOT END.
WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER IN CHURCH EACH WEEK
AS WE WORSHIP OUR BEST FRIEND.
Words by Linda Moeller

     This week marks the end of your child's first grade year.  What a wonderful adventure.  The children have grown in so many ways.  Even though I wish that I could keep this class again for next year, they are ready to move on. Remember that Thursday is a half day of school.  The children will be excused right after our hot dog lunch.  Our closing service is that evening at 6:30.  All children in grades K - 7 sing.  We will meet in the balcony. 
     We will not need our AR helpers or reading parents this week.  Thank you for your fine work.  Your efforts have helped the children to excel and the teacher to smile.
     Our class will keep learning this week but there will be no homework.  There is no need to send an extra bag on Thursday.  All of your child's items should fit into his/her backpack.
     GOD'S BLESSINGS THIS SUMMER.  ENJOY THE SUNSHINE.  I WILL ENJOY SEEING YOU IN CHURCH (AND MAYBE AT A SOCCER GAME OR TWO).

     This is our last full week of school.  Remember that our class trip to Appleton is this Friday.  The permission form is due by this Wednesday.
     Thank you for the many cards and little teacher gifts that appeared on my desk last week. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.  I have enjoyed teaching your children this school year.  It has been a blessing to watch them grow in body, mind, and spirit.
HAVE A WEEK FILLED WITH GOD'S BLESSINGS!

     Also, thank you for your money gift in memory of my mother. Though I miss her dearly it is a comfort to know that she is in the arms of Jesus.  Her suffering is over.  Your little ones certainly helped to cheer my sad heart.  I thank Jesus for them and for you.  The money was donated to the Risen Savior Endowment fund at my parents' church.
