HAPPY SUMMER!!!!

Parents and Students,

It has been an amazing two years with this class.  You have helped to make my experience at St. Mary's so rewarding.  As you may have heard, I have taken a full-time reading specialist position with the school district.  This was a very hard decision for me.  I love St. Mary's, but feel that this was something I needed to do.  I'm not saying good-bye, however.  I will be around as I will continue to be the Title 1 teacher for St. Mary's 2 afternoons per week.

I'm looking forward to summer!  It will be a busy one: 2 class reunions (both mine and my husband's), a wedding, and several graduations.  Amidst the chaos I hope to get in a lot of reading and time with family.  I hope your summer is fun and safe!  Enjoy it!  READ LOTS! Thank you for all of your support these past  years.  It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of your lives.

6th graders:  I have lots of pictures from the last days of school.  When I get them developed I will try and get you each one or two pictures.  I will pass them on to your 7th grade teachers. Feel free to email me and let me know what you're doing this summer.

Parents: You have amazing children and I loved working with them.  I hope to see many of you around.

Mrs. Tess
