Last Day of School

Dear 2nd Grade Parents/ Guardians,

     I typically send out this following letter on the last day of school.This year was quite different, because we did not finish the year together physically. However, they will always be in my hearts.

I give you back your child; the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give you your child back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than before. Although your child would have attained this growth in spite of me, it has been my happy privilege to watch this personality unfold day by day and marvel at this splendid miracle of development. I have thrilled at each new achievement, each new success, and each new expansion of self. I give your child back reluctantly; for having spent nine months together in the narrow confines of a classroom, we have grown close. We have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of the other.

     We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. I wish it could go on indefinitely, but I must give your child back to you. Take care of your child, for your child is precious.

Remember that I shall always be interested in your child and in your child’s destiny…wherever your child goes, whatever your child does, and whoever your child becomes. Your child’s joys and sorrows I’ll be happy to share. Please call on me if there is anything further I can ever do for you, for I will always remember both you and your child.

With much love,

Mrs. Miller

Message about Learning Activities for Next Week

Penn Manor educators have developed continuity of education plans to help students continue learning from home while our schools are closed. Currently, schools are scheduled to reopen April 9, but that date may change depending on Governor Wolf’s orders. We plan to roll out these learning activities, by grade level and subject, beginning at noon Monday, March 30. Please check back for a link to these resources. These are optional, ungraded learning activities that students can complete from home. The resources have been developed to meet a variety of students’ needs and may not be the same across our school district.

Beginning Monday, March 30, teachers will be accessible to students and parents and will respond to any questions about the learning activities in a timely manner.

Please check back on Monday.

Thank you!
Dr. Jerry Egan
