***I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support this year. I have had such great parent involvement. I appreciate all the kind words, snacks, supplies, gifts, and all of the other generous things you all have done for me. I LOVE your children!!!!! I am so thankful that each and every single one of them was placed in my classroom this year. Thank you for letting me be such an important part of their lives over the past ten months. I have loved this journey! I will never forget them. I told them on the very first day of school that it was my job to give them roots and wings. Now that it is time for them to fly, I am just not ready for them to leave the safety of my nest. However, I am confident that they are ready. They have grown so much this year, not just in height, but in knowledge and maturity. I am looking so forward to seeing what the future holds for them. I know they are all going to be very successful. Please keep in touch with me. I hope that they never forget me and that they will come back and visit me often. They will forever be my angels and I will love them always!!!!! Mrs. Atchley
