I did a little dance on Wednesday in celebration of being done with another school year. Several students brought me presents this year as a good bye. I got flowers, stationery, and much more. Come to think of it, this class was big on presents. For Christmas I got bags, candy, and even personal gifts (like a Superman button that played the theme song!). This was a generous class that really paid attention to my personal likes and wanted to cater to that.
I also completed my last year with a Jones boy. I’ve had all four of their boys in class over the span of 8 years (I think!) and have loved every moment with this family. Three of the boys came on the last day so I made them pose for a pic with me
The oldest, and the first one I had in class, graduated from high school this year! Way to make me feel old, Garrett! Oh wait, this is about you, not me! 🙂 Anyway, I will really miss this family. The boys are great to teach, the parents are totally supportive of me and their kids (great tip for those of you who have kids just entering school: support your kids and the teachers. There is a great balance!) and they give the best gifts ever! April has made all my boys’ quilts/favorite blankets and even some for me. The first year I was with them, she made my Cubs pillow cases that I still use! We’ve been through quite a few sheet sets over the years, but I always use my Cubs cases. It came with a quilt also, which Mac has now claimed as his…along with his Lightning McQueen quilt she made him.
And the great Scentsy gift this year!
Thank you, Jones family. I will miss you all. Including the famous father. 🙂
