As the 6th grade year draws to a close, let me express my thanks to all of my students and parents for their hard work throughout the year. This year's students have grown tremendously from the shy, nervous students that I met back in August. Lockers and finding the way around school are no longer worries. Many have made new friends and hopefully life long friendships have formed this year for your child. As the middle school journey continues next year, the students will have even more opportunities to excel and succeed. I am confident that with your continued help and support, the work they have done this year, and the foundations they have built for themselves, next year will be an even better year for them!
