Dear Parents,

Tomorrow is the last full day of 8th grade.  I am hoping there will be no absences or appointments.  We will be cleaning up and out desks and bringing stuff home.  Have your child bring a bag for school supplies and papers.  They can also donate some school supplies for classroom use. 

 

Just sending a reminder that the Celebration of Excellence is on Monday, June 10 at 6:00 at Saint Joe’s.  Students wear nice clothes and their caps and gowns.  They should be at Saint Joe’s by 5:45.

Tuesday begins with the 8th grade breakfast from 8:30-9:30.  The Passing of the Light Ceremony is at 9:30 to 10:30ish. Bring cap and gown to wear over the uniform.   A class prayer service will end our time together.  12:00 dismissal.

Graduation at Immaculate Conception Church at 6:00.  Students should be there by 5:45.  Wear cap and gown.   Reception to follow.

 

     My time with your children has been a gift.  I can’t believe that it is already over.  It has gone by much too quickly for me.  I couldn’t let it end without telling you how much I appreciate all your help and support this year.  I have enjoyed working with you and have been continually amazed and inspired by your commitment and dedication to your children.

 

     As a parent myself, I know how hectic life can be.  I know that it was not always easy to do, but you were unfailingly kind about complying with my many requests.  Thank you so much for the support that you provided for me and for your children.  I know that behind every child with a signed progress report was a parent who took the time to remind, encourage, and sign their name.  I know that behind every  service requirement, test, book report, science project,t or writing assignment was a parent who kept track of due dates, provided resources, proofread, motivated or cajoled so that your child could be successful.  I know that for every happy, healthy child I saw every day there was a parent making sure he/she got plenty of rest, good meals, and clean clothes.  And I know that behind every kind act I saw and every compassionate word I heard was a parent setting a good example. 

 

     But mostly I want to thank you for sharing your precious children with me.  They have been generous, kind, and compassionate.  Each one has been a blessing to the class and especially to me.  Each one has enriched my life and will always hold a place in my heart.    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of their lives.

 

Your beautiful children are LEARNERS, FAITHFUL, and KIND!

 

Blessings,

Mrs. Reichlin
