Sweet Goodbyes

I said goodbye to my students and school today.  Never have I received so many hugs in one day!!  

My empty classroom.

Chase with pigtails--oh dear.

Sweet Kalea

Siney, Taylor, and Kaitlyn

Wilson, Cameron, and Frankie.
(Wilson's comment to me today was, "the best part of my whole year was that I got to come to school wif you!"

I have had tearful eyes all day (running on 1 1/2 hours of sleep hasn't helped that), and have heard the sweetest words from my students.  Today is my farewell to 200 young people I have come to know and love.  What a priviledge it has been to watch them grow!

It isn't easy! I cry every year! This qquote may help..."Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened!"
