Time to Say Goodbye…

Dear Students,

Personally, I can’t believe how fast this journey came to an end. It seems like just yesterday you were writing your first blog  for this class, going up to the book depository, wearing all black for your senior spirit day, and reading Macbeth. It’s been quite a whirlwind, but through it all I am honored to be able to call you my students and friends. No doubt  all of you will go very far and will have great success in your lives. I hope to keep in touch and I look forward to hearing about this next phase that you are so quickly approaching.

I do have a few words of advice for you…

Use what you have learned in high school to help you in college. Pay attention in college and try not to miss any classes. Stick by your morals and beliefs. Study hard & make new friends. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help.

 I love you all!

Ms. Bush
