Dear Parents,

I wanted to give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give them back - a few pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than they were before.

Although they would have attained this growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch this unfold day by day and marvel at this splendid miracle of development.

I give your child back reluctantly, for having spent nine months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of each other.

We have lived, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. I wish it could go on indefinitely, but give them back I must. Take care of this kid, for they are amazing.
Remember that I will always be interested in your child and their destiny, wherever they go, whatever they do, whoever they become. Their joys and sorrows I will always be happy to share.

Mr. Z

May 29, 2010: Our final class Super Activity will be held on Thursday, June 3rd. We will be meeting at the school at 2:55 and will walk from there to the Parke’s home. We will eat Chunk-A-Poo Cookies until we vomit, barbecue hot dogs, play games in the backyard, utilize the Slip and Slide, perhaps watch a movie, and maybe even enjoy each others’ company. We will walk back to the school at 6:00 and eagerly await parents to come and pick up each of those students who made it to the activity.

Parents are more than welcome to attend should they wish to do so.

If you have any questions, please email me at jasonz@provo.edu.
