May, 2006

Dear Students and Parents,

       This is the last newsletter for the 2005-2006 school year and perhaps my last opportunity to say farewell.  Thank you for giving me the privilege of working with such incredible children.  Their manners and intelligence continue to amaze me.  As parents you must be doing so many things right!  Keep up the good work. 

      As this year comes to a close and we look toward next year, it is my fervent hope that Monica Lammers will feel as supported by each and every one of you as I have.  We anticipate a smooth transition as we work closely together to plan and prepare for next year. 

      Eagle Valley Elementary is truly a wonderful place to end my thirty years in education.  It feels good to head into the next chapter of my life knowing that I have just experienced one of the best years of my career!
