Happy Thanksgiving!

Students and Parents-

I just wanted to take a minute and wish all of you a very happy holiday. Take this time to be thankful and grateful for your families.

Students, think of Esperanza and Jonas and how they did not appreciate everything that they had. They have both realized it is the LITTLE things that matter most.

Parents, thank you for all the EXTRA help you give your child outside of the classroom. You make my job much easier and your students are thankful for it.

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!!
