Week 19  January 5-8, 2016

I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday break!  I was blessed to help bring a new life into the world. Our little granddaughter Rose Elise was born December 22 weighing 6 lbs. 12 oz.  She was a month early but is doing fine!


I would like to also express my thanks for the beautiful gifts given to me and for all the wonderful gift cards.  It is really nice to be appreciated!


I am not the Study Hall teacher this quarter so I will not be available for after school spelling.  My room will be used for the after school program this quarter.
