Dear Jodi,
We are thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time. While not easy for anyone, we are glad to know you've had the opportunity to spend more time with your family this past year. Please know that Ella learned so much with you as her science teacher in both 5th and 6th grades. She was pushed to go beyond the basics, and we are thankful for both your teaching and the time you spent working with her. You always championed her swimming and supported her in the classroom and at the pool. Thank you for that. We miss seeing you in the carpool line every afternoon. Sending along many prayers.
The Smith Family
