          Dear Parents and students,

                   I wanted to take this time to express how deeply touched I am by the tremendous out pour of appreciation, for my birthday last Friday. Though I suspected the students were "up to something," I could have never expected what they had in stored for me. From the beautiful cakes to the way everyone worked together, was truly amazing. It is proving difficult to find the words to describe the feeling I was experiencing, but know that it will stay with me forever as a most joyous memory. Thank you all so much.

          Mr. Badia
