THANK YOU!!!!!!

Dear parents and students,

  I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you all have done for our class this year.  You all have been a wonderful group of parents, and I have enjoyed getting to know you and work with you and your child this year.  You have made this year so easy and fun for me!  Your gifts and kind words have meant the world to me!!!  All the boys and girls are so dear!  I love them like they were my own!  I know they will do well in 4th grade, and I will be checking on them!  I hope you have a great and safe summer!  Remember to read, read, read and review those times tables!!  Send me a postcard if you go on vacation.  I would love to hear from you!  I will see you in August! 

                                              Lots of Love!!!

As most of you are aware, Terri DuBose is retiring at the end of the school year.  Mrs. Chapman is making a memory book for her and would like to encourage all students who had Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. DuBose to write a thank you or good bye message to Mrs. DuBose.  Write the message on a piece of notebook paper and turn the message in to either Mrs. Cheek's office or Mrs. Joyner's office by this Thursday, May 10th.  It's a surprise for Mrs. DuBose so please don't say anything to her.
