Well it's here!! HAPPY 2010! I hope that all of you enjoyed the holidays and
had a little "down time" to spend with your family. I can't believe that we
are once again at the start of another new year!
I want to thank you for your generosity with holiday gifts. I had planned on
sending thank you notes through the mail to the children but I forgot my
class list with the addresses so I will be sending them home in their folders
on Monday. I appreciate your kindness and I enjoyed the family Christmas
picture cards...thank you for sharing them with me (they are all on my frig
at home with all of the other holiday pictures!)
This week we will all be getting back into the school day routines and
schedules. After the high of the holidays and being on vacation it takes a
