I cannot believe how quickly this school year progressed and how much each of you grew during your time in my classroom. Whether it was tackling a new medium or trying a new technique, you each did a fabulous job rising to the high expectations I set for you. Not that I am surprised! The end of the year is always crazy and chaotic with meeting deadlines and finishing artwork and I am proud of those of you who came in to work during your lunch or study hall or after school. Your hard work and dedication was noticed and I hope you are proud of the work you created. For my eighth graders who are moving on to high school, I wish you the best of luck. For my sixth and seventh graders, be sure to put your sketchbook in a safe place for next year! You will be in great hands regardless of who your art teacher will be. For now I look forward to traveling to Chicago, working part-time, reading and playing with Rocko. I hope you all have a wonderful and restful summer!
