Great Expectations

It’s time to say, “Good -bye.”
 Our year has come to an end. 
I’ve made more cherished memories, 
And many more new friends.
 I’ve watched you all learn and grow, 
And change from day to day.
 I hope that all the things we’ve done, 
Have helped in some small way. 
So it’s with happy memories, 
I send you out the door. 
With great hope and expectations, 
For what next year holds in store. 

Love,
Mrs. Creger and Mrs. Harriger




Thank you for a wonderful year!
Have an enjoyable and 
relaxing summer!
