August 6, 2009 Dear Fifth Grade Parents and Students: This is going to be an incredible year, and hopefully, one we will treasure forever. I look forward to meeting all of you this school year. I anticipate new beginnings and great adventures for the year 2009-2010. With summer ending and a new school year upon us, we all have a chance to achieve celebrated success. Please, prepare and study hard next year. You are all unique and exceptional young men and women. You have so much to offer this world with your unimaginable talents, fabulous personalities, and inconceivable intelligence. Remember, always stay true to yourself, your family, your friends, but most of all God. Sincerely, Marie Apel Fifth Grade Teacher
