It's almost impossible to believe the year has come to an end. I give you back your kinder pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than s/he was in August. It has been my pleasure and privilege to watch your child's personality unfold day by day. After having spent nine months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of each other. We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. Thank you for sharing your child with me.
Fondly,
Maria Petrozzi
