Well….here we are on the last day of school!   It wont be long until the phone is turned off, computers are shut down and everyone is off to enjoy their summer!  It has been a great year full of growth.  Our new students flourished in their new setting and we look forward to welcoming more next year!  With the excitement of the summer break at our door, there is also some sadness as we say goodbye to some of our favorite people.

Ms. Cathy and Ms. June – Our parapro’s are some of the best in the district, they work hard, love the students and are a pleasure to work with.  We have shared many laughs and good times over the last few years.  A big thank you goes out to them for all of their help and support this year.   However, Ms. Cathy and Ms. June will be retiring to enjoy traveling, time with grand-kids, and all the good things retirement brings.   We wish them the best and thank them for loving our students, and us, throughout the years.  It won’t be the same without them.

Malak Zahr is 26!  She has been a bright spark in our room and will be greatly missed.   She always came to school with a smile, had a kind heart, and great attitude.   We wish her the best!

Yasmeen Maisari is moving!  We will so miss her enthusiasm and persistence!  She was always up for a challenge and loved contributing to our classroom discussions.   It won’t be the same without her!  We also want to thank her family for doing a lot of our fundraising for us.  We couldn’t do many of the things we’ve done without their support!

Nejwa Elghoul and Adullah Mawri – Project Search.  Two of our leaders in the class are ready to move on to bigger and better things.  They will be a part of the Project Search program at Beaumont Hospital.  We are so excited for this opportunity for them but will miss them tremendously.

One last thing….please remember Jamie Rammouni in your thoughts and prayers as she is in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant.  Jamie – we love and miss you and wish you the best!  We hope for a successful surgery and speedy recovery so that you will be back with us before you know it!

Have a great summer everyone!
