It is exciting to say that I am writing you the last newsletter for this school year. It has been a wonderful year and I will miss your children very much. It is hard to let them go at the end of the year, but I know that they are ready to enter their next stage of learning. They have been
a big part of my life and I will rejoice in watching them continue to grow here at Redeemer.
