Thank You!

Thank you so much for the huge card! I'm very sad I missed the surprise cupcakes! : ( I was trying to make it back from Peterborough after our basketball game in time, but got there just as the bell was ringing.

You were an excellent class, and I will miss you too! Although, very talkative, you all produced some amazing work for Grade 9. : ) I'll be around the school supplying, so I will see you around for sure.

Thanks again! I love the card!

Enjoy your long weekend,

Miss Desbarbieux
