Now the long days of summer stretch before us, and third grade is just a happy memory.

I would like to thank my students for all that they have taught me over the last nine years at St. Agnes. We have shared butterflies and rice cakes, field days and rainy days, book buddies and haikus, simple machines and soils, soup lunches and pretzels.

More than this, we have shared all the precious hours of their childhood and their deep faith. We have prayed together, shared Eucharist, laughed together, and sometimes, cried together.

I would also like to thank all my parents who have  shared the precious gift of their children with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and generosity.

Know that I will cherish the memories of my years at St. Agnes, and that the faith that was deepened there will strenghen and sustain me wherever I go. You will be ever in my heart.

May God bless you all,

Mrs. Kathleen Della Valle
