A letter from May 14, 2026

Dear FutureMe, I hope you took some time to rest this summer. You have done amazing! You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know. The Lord called you to be a teacher for a reason. He placed you here to make a positive impact on the lives of these students and show His love through your actions. Remember to breathe- 1 Peter 5:7. Please do not forget to read your bible and pray every day before school!! It truly makes a difference on your attitude for the day. Try your best to not take on the weight of your students' emotions as best as you can. Everyone has bad days but don't let that be a reflection on a student's character or on your teaching. You came into the school year halfway through and you have done a great job. Admin and other teachers have complimented you on your sweet, bubbly spirit so take that into this new school year and beyond. You are a great teacher and remember to take it one day at a time. Do your best to not take work home as often. Remember to take time for yourself-self-care is very important. Here is to a great school year as the classroom teacher from the very beginning-cheers to year 2! Love, your 1st year of teaching teacher P.S. Enjoy your last year of teaching as Ms. Grandy!
