Our Fourth Grade Journey
I would like to extend my gratitude for sharing your child with me this school year. We have all grown together. It has been my pleasure to guide your child to become more independent and thoughtful individuals that will contribute to society in a positive way. The students have learned so much this school year. Now the ball is in your court. Please continue to foster these skills throughout the summer using the resources mentioned below. Thank you, thank you, thank you once again for your continued support throughout the school year and all of the little gifts along the way. Don’t forget to also make some great memories this summer!
Wishing you all the best,
Mrs. Kalis
