Jul 1st THANK YOU!!!!!

Hello Middle Schoolers and Families!

I just wanted to send you all a great big thank you for my class gift, the Cabela’s gift cards!!!!!! You guys know me so well! I actually ended up getting a GoPro for the whole family to use on our crazy adventures! I hope we don’t see any footage of family members flying over cliffs, again…L.O.L.

I really enjoyed having each and every ONE of you in my class this year.

I hope you all have a delightful summer and a mind-blowing middle school experience!

Thanks again and take care,
Mrs. Jones
