This is a special thank you note to all the special, wonderful children I taught during my 30 years of having the distinct privilege of being their teacher.

Truly it was the other way around! I learned about life, love, compassion and empathy. These were the gifts you freely gave to me by letting me into your hearts through pictures, letters and hugs.

When I was around you, you made me feel like the most blessed person in the world! Thank you! You are the treasures in my lifetime memory chest. God bless you all for you meant and did for me!
