I would like to say a special thank you to my homeroom mothers for all the hard work in preparing our gifts for our Adopted Family this year.  Also, thanks so much for the food preparation and for bringing in the treats for our homeroom  Christmas party....yummy!!!!

Thanks also for the gifts from my homeroom, students from 6G, 6S, 7P, 8S, and finally 8W.  The gifts were all so wonderful and enjoyed.  I definitely enjoyed all the homemade cookies and candies.  My doctor probably will say that I enjoyed them all too much!!!!  I feel so blessed by my students and families.  You were so generous in your cards and Christmas gifts.  I am deeply moved and thankful for all of you and my ministry here at CLS.
