LAST DAY!!

Good morning everyone, 

We have arrived at our last day of school :)  There is no assigned work for today.  I hope you will be able to join us for our Google Meet at 11am where we will be able to get together to say goodbye for the summer.  

If you are not able to join us, I would just like to remind you all of how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to get to know each of you.  I hope you know how much I, along with all your teachers, care about you.  You are wonderful people, and I hope you will keep in touch and let me know how you are doing - either by email, or by coming to see me once we are back in classrooms.

Hope to see you at 11am.  I will post the link for the meeting on this blog.

Mr. Carr :)
