"Muchas gracias" for the many thoughtful yearbook notes, cards, and gifts. They mean so much as I retire from teaching middle school.
I hope everyone enjoys a relaxing summer vacation and is ready for the new school year in August. Although I am sad to be leaving JLCP and will miss seeing the expression on your faces every time I was ready to teach you a new song, I am happy to have more time in retirement to visit family, travel, and, of course, dance. I just bought a tenor ukulele, so you never know. I may come back to haunt you with a new song!
I have bragged to Ms. Lucas, your new teacher, that I have the best Spanish students in Duval County, so I can´t wait for you to meet her. Have a great time learning!
¡Abrazos grandes!
Señora Dennis
