Thank you Parents for all of your hard work during this difficult time.  I am going to give you one more assignment, please read with your child every day!  I can't stress this enough.  My own son struggled in the early years with reading, I found what really helped was picking up a book reading a few pages to grab his interest and then having him read a page or two.  Now he's an accountant and doing well!
The parent sitting with their child doing work is so valuable!  

I will miss your children, and I will continue to pray for all of you!
Mrs. Schmid

Have a great Summer!
