We have received so many sweet letters from parents in the past 18 years.  Here is my top most framed letter.  This was presented to me personally at N.....s'  Kindergarten Graduation in May 2007.

" Miss Linda...

Eleven years ...we've had a blast

Here are a few memories from our Pride & Joy past.

I was not quite two when I came to you

In your office each day while my parents were away.

It wasn't long before I grew real strong

Then in the office again, this time for being wrong!

I'm A........., your little mascot

I knew all the parents' names, I liked to help a lot!

Do you remember my first recital when I wouldn't dance?

Mom was in labor but she took a chance!

That same night a special event took place

Two years later J....... came to your space!

You were with us when we had N..., our little brother

And we were here when you became a grandmother.

One thing the three of us had in common

None of us could sit still, this was a problem!

At two we could all say the Pledge

And at three, all picked flowers from your hedge.

Each year we celebrated a birthday with a toy

You gave us such great memories; you are a "Joy"

You taught us all phonics and about God above

And you added a little thing called Love!

This special gift you can hang on your wall

To remind you of us

When we were little and then tall.

And now as you send the last one on his way

We thank you for eleven years and this one last day.

Love from mommy and daddy, their daughter and two boys

In our heart you will always be, Pride & Joy!"

"Pride & Joy is the best place ever!  The atmoshere is wonderful and all the teachers are so loving & caring.  My two children love attending school everyday and they talk about going to school even on the weekends!  We couldn't be any happier with the education and the care our kids receive.

My four year old can count to 100!  So Great!  My 2 1/2 yr old can sing her ABC's and knows all her numbers and colors...she is so proud that she learned this at school."
