There are many of you I have taught or met over the years. This has been a difficult decision for me but I think it is time for me to retire from the classroom. The hardest part will be not seeing all of you in September. Can’t begin to thank you for allowing me to be your teacher and to all of the parents for allowing me to teach your children. You all have been so kind to me. I will miss you all a great deal. Wishing you peace in your heart and Jesus in your lives. God Bless! Love always, Ms. Lyons
