Room 17 Families,
Thank you so much for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week! I love the "heart of gold" necklace! You will see me wearing it often, and the basket full of wines, cheeses, nuts and chocolates is something my whole family will enjoy. I was very touched by the students' cards and letters as well, and the flowers brightened the classroom all week long. Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity. I feel very grateful to work with your children, and this week has really made it even more special.
Warmly,
Safini Convey
