Mrs. Runyon,
You are very a sweet teacher. You are like a flower blooming. You are thoughtful, caring, and all the character traits we learn about in school and you have all the Fruits of the Spirit. Thank you for all of the kindness you have done. You make me feel like I am a very good student. You make me feel very loved and important. I wish that you would be a third and fourth grade teacher too so I can keep you forever as a teacher. I love you.
Love, Baylee (written and typed by Baylee...all on her own)

Kelly, you are one of a kind. I absolutely thank you for loving Baylee and making her feel very special all the time. She has ventured out and shown those around her, her sweet and silly personality and that is a testament of the safety you provide in that classroom. For that alone, you should be applauded! Kelly, you make everyone feel valued, like a precious jewel ready to be shined and put on display. Baylee feels like she can do anything and gladly takes risks and shows what she knows. That wouldn’t happen with just “anyone”! We love your silly, creative, a gentle ways. You make the classroom a warm and inviting. I LOVE working side by side with you as a team and am thrilled for more of it next school year. Thank you for all of your thought, hard work, and energy into our daughter’s life. You will forever be an extraordinary person in our life that we praise God for. May God bless you for blessing us!
Love,
Kymberly

Miss Redding, We Appreciate You!

~In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week!~

Miss Redding,
"I love you. I hope you'll be my teacher at Edu-Prize too. I love you a lot. Thank you for being my teacher and for loving me. I am sad that I don't get to go to that school anymore and see you all the time. I love you very much. You made my school days fun. I liked all that you did with me. I love you."
Love,
Nathan (Composed by Nathan with a lot of thought!)

Bethany,
You have made Nathan blossom into a super learner. He LOVES going to school and a lot of that is because of Y-O-U. The way you welcomed Nathan into the classroom each morning started things off just right. Your warm smile, hug, and upbeat greeting never went unnoticed. Bethany, the fun way about you made Nathan’s mind expand beyond what we thought was possible this year. He didn’t even know he was learning because he was laughing and smiling all the way through each task. Thank you for being a Godly example of a person. You loved unconditionally, had joy beyond measure, patience that kept going, impeccable creativity, gentleness at all times, and always showed kindness and expected it from everyone to everyone. God bless you. You will forever have a very special place in our hearts.
Love,
Kymberly
