Thank You
posted on: 04/30/10 @ 07:28am
I am filled with mixed emotions as my time at O'Hara comes to an end and I begin my journey as a teacher. I want to thank all of you for welcoming me into your classroom and for making each and every day eventful and enjoyable. I truly enjoyed the time spent with you. Because you allowed me to work with you, I have learned many important things that I will take with me in the future. I look forward to having a classroom of my own, hopefully with students just like you.
Congratulations on your graduation from high school. Be proud of yourself, and be excited because you have many good things to look forward to. Have a fun summer, but more importantly, be safe! Good luck in all you do in the future! I will miss you all.
