Unedited Notes of Gratitude –

priceless notes of thanks and advice only from the mouth of babes

I have file folders of thank you cards, notes, and letters from students.  Here are a few short excerpts from a few of them.

“This has been my best year ever. I HATE graduating. Even though I was the only girl in my class! You are the BEST EVER! Dad told me to write that you shoudn’t wear miniskirts anymore because it is distracting when he picks us up from school and he can’t consentrate on what you tell him.”

Tara

“Thanks for another really great year.  If I didn’t have hockey school this summer I would want you to take me with Tanis and you to Africa this summer.  You will have to wait to hear stories about my hockey school!  See you next year.”

Robbie

“Thanks so much for looking after me last night. The pizza was great.  You would make a great Mom.  Mom told me to tell you that she would get better at rememmbering that she has me.”
