P.S. Actually this is my last post of my teaching career. Next year a new and exciting teacher will communicate with new parents. It has been my honor and pleasure to have taught God’s children for 44 years. God’s plan has blessed me in many ways and I will take many cherished memories with me. I pray the next teacher will feel as blessed in her ministry as I have been in mine, and that God’s wisdom, strength, and love will see her through. To God be the glory! Amen!
