Happy Last Day of School [plus some extra credit]

My dear students,

Thank you for the gift of being your teacher for the past two years. It has been quite the adventure and I wouldn't trade it for the world. More than anything,  I hope and pray that you will know Jesus for who He is, and that He shows you increasingly that there is no joy apart from Him. I also hope you remember how to write a thesis statement and diagram sentences too, but those come in at a close second :)

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. [1 John 5:21]


Love and prayers,
Mrs. Berg


PS - For extra credit, email me a haiku about how your last day of school went BY 12:00 NOON ON FRIDAY, JUNE 1.
