Dear Mrs. Brophy
I’m 10 years old and going into the 5th grade! I remember when my friend, Nick R. and I graduated from our 2nd year of preschool. Nick and I also played the drums in the graduation ceremony. That was so fun! I also remember after the graduation ceremony. We had an AWESOME pool party with ice cream. The best part was the Mini Olympics! I won 1st place. I also want to thank Ms Greene and Ms. Madame for teaching us!
Thanks,
Michael A.
