Thank you!

Hello, room 209 alumni and families!  I hope your summer is off to a wonderful start!  After school ended on the last day, I had the bittersweet job of packing up the rest of our classroom for the summer.  It gave me a wonderful opportunity to look back on the wonderful year we had and to remember some of the special moments we shared.    Each year is unique for me, and each group of students leaves me with a terrific set of memories that I can revisit, from time to time.  I’ll always remember creating Lucy the Elephant, proudly proclaiming “Huzzah”, using the iPads for amazing work, an outstanding collection of TUSS projects, creating our Humphrey video (here it is), and so much more! You were such a kind group of students and I want to thank you so much, not only for your thoughtful end-of-year gifts, but also for the enthusiasm, dedication, and effort that you showed all year long.

After I finished working in our classroom that day, I was excited to attend the Avon High School graduation to watch my very first class (from PGS) graduate.  It was a remarkable experience, and I enjoyed seeing how much my first group of students had grown (both in height and in knowledge and skill).  Like my first class, you, too, are bound for great things!  I know that you’ll continue to do well as you continue your journey, whether at Thompson Brook School or another school, near or far.  In only eight short years, in 2022, I hope you’ll keep an eye out for me at your graduation.  I’ll probably be sitting in the back of the audience, and I hope you’ll come by to say hello!

Thank you for a wonderful 10th year at PGS!  Enjoy your summer, and please stay in touch!  (Be sure to enjoy a good book over the summer!  Remember, like younger PGS students, you can log your summer reading at www.pgsreads.org!)  Photos from our class graduation are available, below.  (Click “More”)
