Good-bye Mrs. Sharf!!!

We had to say good-bye to Mrs. Sharf yesterday. We will miss her, but wish her well at her next student teaching experience in St. Charles Public Schools. We hope to see her around at church from time to time as she, her husband and daughter have been attending Messiah's 11:00 service on occassion. (They usually sit near the back, slightly to the left if you're facing the alter in case you're looking for her!) We had a fun party from 1:00-2:00 yesterday with cake, ice cream and candy! We took several pictures (which will be posted later as I left my card reader at school) of the two classes and Mrs. Sharf enjoying the party. Thank you to everyone who chipped in on the cake and gifts! We got her a colorful teacher bag with: a whistle, an EZ grader (a sliding card that tells you the percentage for papers based on the number of questions), a pocket chart, a pointer, a few packs of stickers, and a box of red pens! I hope everyone enjoyed their day off! Mrs. Sharf, Mrs. Manahan and I went to 3 very enjoyable workshops at CCLS that dealt with technology today! But, I was home by about 1:15 so that I could spend some time with my kids today as well!
