School Supplies 2008 to 2009

0 comments

WOW... it is that time of year again... here is all the goodies labeled and ready to be packed... can't believe there are only 2 more "big sleeps" until we get up at a set time and catch the bus in the morning... when I say We... I mean Christina... ack, grade 5... wow!!

Here's to a fabulous year of education - thanks to all those fabulous teachers who help mold her and listen to me, help me when I am feeling helpless with school work, guide me with ways to help her study & don't get too annoyed with my "interference". I truly do appreciate the work even if sometimes it doesn't come out that way! Cheers to all the educators in our kids' lives and huge THANKS - you are AWESOME!
