Thank You So Much

I am truly humbled by your kindness at the math team celebration.  What a great night to honor the teams.  Libby, Peyton, Marissa and Emma did a great job!  Thanks to Will and David for the entertainment.  Peyton and Emma's story about piercing my ears was embarassing, but true.  Will's speech was inspiring.  The food was delicious and the atmosphere at Stone Bridge perfect.  I will certainly enjoy the beautiful flower, earrings and gift card and cherish the time together.  Much success to the 8th graders.  Continue to work hard and enjoy your high school years.  Thanks to the students and parents for an outstanding year .

Sincerely,
Susan Sellers
