To the grade 7T class: First of all, I had to tear out of school yesterday, so I never had the chance to properly thank you for the beautiful picnic party you threw for me.  Let me say it now: the thought you put into the food, the personalized notes in the photo album, and even the Dora the Explorer Spoon, did not go unnoticed.  From day 1 this year, you have been an energetic, fun-loving class and I have thoroughly enjoyed being your math/language teacher.  Even the time we have spent together playing soccer in DPA has been a real highlight for me.  

I wish you all the best in grade 8!



8L and 7T: I am still 3 tricycles short of a proper Mario Kart game.  If you have any time this weekend to dust one off that's hiding in the back of the garage, it would be very much appreciated.  I will take good care of it.
