Next week I shall give you back your child. The same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give them back pounds heavier, inches taller, and months wiser than they were then.
Although they would have attained their growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch their personality unfold day by day and marvel at this miracle of development.
I give them back a bit reluctantly. Having spent ten months together in the narrow confines of Campus School, we have grown close and we shall always retain a little of each other. We have lived, celebrated, TCAP tested, laughed, learned, and enriched our lives together this year.
Remember that I shall always be interested in your child and their future endeavors, wherever they go, whatever they do, whoever they become. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be your child’s teacher this year and for most of you two years!
Respectfully,
Mr. Shadow
