I want to post this for all my students that I had this year at Mater.... I truly love you all. When my husband and I decided that we should go to the school in Atlanta, it was a very hard choice to make. I realized that I would be sad to leave, but until today when you all had gone home, I didn't realize just how hard it would hit me. As I look back at pictures on my computer, taken throughout the year, and I see how much I am really going to miss you. It has been an absolutely amazing year for me. I feel so lucky to have been a part of all of your lives' this year.
I wish I were a better writer, so that I could articulate everything that I am feeling inside right now. I will always remember the little things that made my experience so unique... the music (why did everyone love lil' wayne so much?? and oh how everyone fought over which songs I should or shouldn't play on my Mac)... the dancing (how many times was I asked to "crank that soldier boy" or show everyone I could crunk??)... all the stuff people would write on my board (notes, drawings, etc)... my morning visitors (who kindly left a yogurt each day:))... my lunch crowd (what started as about 3 people eating in the room, turned into about 25)... my faithful student aid (part muralist, part miniature elephant lover)... my every period student (and sewing/designing/art clubbing/fundraising/talking/everything partner)... all the boys who asked me to marry them relentlessly (my husband grimaces:)).... the constant questions about what it was like to grow up in Utah (again, I am not from Utah!)... and I will never forget the Ms! Ms! Ms!, Ms.K!'s...
I of course am thankful for every sweet word of encouragement, gratitude, and praise that you all constantly gave, and I wish that I could just go back and relive the whole year again. The thought of not seeing you again, brings me to tears. I love you all, and I want to thank you for every moment and every memory that I now have.

ah so many pictures that we took =[ i never got those posed pictures for baby elephant photoshoping ...maaaan!
It sounds like you had such a great time as a teacher! No wonder your students loved you so much. I could always tell when a teacher really didn't want to be there... and when a teacher loved what they did.
You will love Atlanta. Every time I see it on House Hunters I think it looks like a really cool place to live!
You summed up this year perfectly. (I never got the whole lil Wayne thing either). All I can say now is that I hope everything works out great in Georgia, Im glad I knew you for one year, you were an amazing teacher, no surprise you won teacher of the year.
Soooo....Bye
Good luck in ATL

Miiiiiiissss, Imma miss you! DX It's not cool for you to be ditching us only after one year but can't do nothing about it. And art class this year was my favorite period ever. You don't know how many crazy stuff me, Dianelis, Judith and Stephan didn't that you just didn't notice (you're a very oblivious person. Karen wasn't as silly as us though. :3
