Thank You!

Dear Parents,

     I would like to take a few minutes today, on my last day enjoying your wonderful children, to express my gratitude to you.  Thank you so much, a very heartfelt thanks, to you for sharing and trusting me with your child this year. I have never experienced such a close community as I have this year.  My students are so caring toward one another.  I feel so blessed to be able to spend a year with each and everyone of them watching them work hard and grow.  I am so very proud of their own individual goals they have achieved.  I can move into my summer with assurance that my 2014-2015 family will, no doubt, be successful.  I hope your child shares our many warm memories from this year and they carry them with confidence and courage to start their new adventures in middle school!
As the staff here at WD say, "Once a Woodlander, Always a Woodlander!"

Many Blessings to you All,
                   Ms.  Tollas

Welcome to the week of May 18th!

Greetings from room 51!
     As the year is winding down, room 51 is realizing feelings that come with the anticipation of a substantial change.  We have spent time sharing feelings and discussing what is going through our minds, all to aid in a successful transition.  We have built "our own little home" in room 51, and it will be hard to say good-bye.  So, we are focusing on the fun times we have left together, and the very last state test we need to rock!!!
