Well the end of the year is quickly coming to a close. Our year end testing is wrapping up. The parent surveys are being returned. We've finally had a few sunny days so the children can enjoy some outside time for recess and P. E class. The choir has enjoy their combined district choir concert with the other elementary choirs.  End of the year field trips have been happening to places like the state capitol, the Minnesota History Center, the planetarium in Rochester, the Pelican Breeze, the Albert Lea Medical Center, the Freeborn County Museum, etc.  Classroom picnics are being planned.
For me this is the end of a 40 year career in what I consider without questions the very best profession there is.  I want to thank the Hawthorne parents for allowing me the privilege to be a part of your child's education. These past nine years have truly been an honor.
