Hey kids,
I wanted to inform you earlier that I will not be returning this year to Valhalla. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for a fantastic school year.
Your classes were the highlight of my day, I laughed more with all of you than I thought possible. All of you made the transition from Mrs. Griffin to myself easily and with great flexibility. During one of the most difficult periods of my life you were all very understanding and I saved all of your cards.
Period C- I loved the intellectual debates you would have and the discussions we would have over current books. I sensed a nice fellowship among the students in this class. You all helped each other. Keep doing that, you can sometimes learn more from a friend.

For the classes individually-
Period B-I will miss the late humor of period B, hopefully you have all gotten better about getting to your classes on time! I will miss the banter of your class, and the deep but funny observations you made.

Period D- Ahhh Period D, Thank you for keeping me on my toes, you were all funny and great thinkers. If there were any holes in any lessons, one of you were sure to point it out. I know you will be great 10th graders. Don't stop asking questions. Keep writing creatively, you are all amazing.
Period G- I don't even know what to say. The chemistry of this class was just awesome, your class was the first time I laughed after my sister's death. I couldn't wait to hear Mark and Mrs. Redmond continue reading Julius Caesar! You are all wonderful kids. Work hard, and have fun in class. (yes you can have fun in class, our class was large proof of that)
Period H- This was a great class to have at the end of the day! You always made point on observations about our readings and lessons. The debates (discussions) we had in class were meaningful and displayed the wonderful thinkers you all are. I was so proud of the poetry out of this class!
I had a great opportunity to help teachers and administrators in Clarkstown with technology. The hardest part of leaving was the fear of the unknown and not seeing your faces in the hallway or stopping in my room during study halls (you know who you are).
Work hard, be safe online PLEASE! If you ever need help with technology or English I will always be here to help you. You can email me jenn.cronk@gmail.com. Feel free to leave comments if you like.
You will all go far in life, I know it!
