I am so grateful for all of the support that you have given me in the classroom, on field trips, during special school events and of course at home when working with your child.<br /><br />This year was very special with the birth of my son Asher. It was such a tremendous opportunity to spend time with him at home and I appreciate your understanding. Your generosity was so heartfelt. My wife and I enjoyed some very delicious and convenient meals from "The Perfect Dinner." Asher stayed nice and warm in the cozy snowsuit that you gave him. He is now sporting his seahorse romper during these hot summer days and absolutely loves playing with his corduroy puppy.<br /><br />Thank you again for making this such a great year. I will miss working with your child but I hope for a visit next year! Have a safe, fun and relaxing summer.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Jeffrey GehrkeMr. Gehrkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272930510796779305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845008453626716789.post-87378506071139444242011-05-19T08:41:00.001-07:002011-05-19T08:45:24.267-07:00"Outdoor Education Day"Mr. Gehrke's class will be having an "Outdoor Education Day" on June 2nd.
