THANKS TO OLYMPIC KIDS
June 8, 2009
Dear Olympic Kids,
I am so proud of you for making the FIRST Palmer Way Olympics a huge success! You had great ideas for the sports and took the time to try them all out beforehand. You showed your artistic talents by making outstanding posters and flags. And then for the two days, you worked really hard getting things set up and keeping scores. Now many teachers and students want to continue the event every year, all thanks to YOU!
Sincerely,
Ms. Hern
