Dearest Team 5th Grade Students and Families,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all my amazing students, and their parents and guardians, for an absolutely WONDERFUL school year! This was an awesome group of students! They rose to every academic challenge I posed for them, as well as the ultimate challenge of dealing with a first-ever pandemic, Covid-19.

This year’s team has been hard-working, supportive, kind, caring, responsible, and just an all-around great class! I feel so blessed, honored, and privileged to have been their teacher! What an awesome team! Thank you!

And although our time in the classroom was cut short, the memories we made will live on in my heart forever. The smiles, the laughter, the bonding, the team building, and of course, the learning.

A very special thanks to all the parents and guardians who not only supported me during the school year, but most importantly, supported our students, and ultimately, the team. Thank you.

I wish all my students and their families a wonderful summer filled with smiles, laughter, and yes, even some learning! Please be safe everyone!

All of you have truly left an imprint on my heart, and for that I am forever thankful.

Keep being the BEST version of yourself!

With so much respect,

Mr. D
