I Will Really Miss Team 7-2

Thank you all for a wonderful year. The culmination of the year was celebrated at the Talent Show yesterday. It was a great way to end the year and have fun at the same time. We had so much talent on the team. Have a great summer and read Number The Stars by Lois Lowry, the same author as The Giver. I truly will miss each and every one of you. Thanks for a memorable year. The eighth grade teachers are fortunate to get you in the fall.

If you did not get your journal back today, email me at jjaggers@verizon.net and I'll somehow get it back to you!
