Notes from the teacher:
Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your families. I enjoyed
time with my mom and sister’s family in Alaska.
Thank you for the thoughtful and generous gifts I received from you. I am
blessed by your kindness. Thanks for the Teacher Love Offering which is a big
help with my extra expenses.
Happy New Year!
God bless you,
