Today I visited each of my students to say goodbye. I felt so special and loved with all their sweet notes and gifts. This will be a year I’ll never forget and I’ll miss these students and this school so much! #kip109 #engage109

Our 3rd graders show how big their brave is! In these uncertain times, it's important to BE BRAVE, SHOW KINDNESS, WEAR THE CAPE, CHANGE THE WORLD! #engage109 #kip109 Song credit: @SaraBareilles #spreadkindness #teacher #students https://t.co/7DpWWbxhfn
