Impacting for Good

Audrey had the sweetest teacher in First Grade.  Her name is Mrs. Renehan.  She gave her heart and soul to each student and it was evident, not only to me but especially to Audrey.



First Day of First Grade

 After over 25 years of teaching Mrs. Renehan is retiring. . .and Audrey is heartbroken.  Last night, Audrey and I sat down to write her a goodbye letter and we were both sobbing by the end of it.

Here is the letter she wrote to her very special teacher:

                                                                                         May 17, 2011



Dear Mrs. Renehan-


I so enjoyed being your student. It makes me a little sad to think that you won’t be around next year. I will miss your sweet hugs and big smile in the halls at Barksdale.


First grade was very fun. You were such an awesome teacher. I learned a ton from you that year. Thank you caring the way you do. I still LOVE my special binder with all of my memories of that time in my life. You have the coolest ideas.


It’s pretty clear that you were born to teach, but I also know that you were born to enjoy your grandchildren, too. If I love you this much, I can’t imagine how they must feel.


So, enjoy your retirement and know that I will never forget all of the special times we shared. You’re my girl.


Love,


Audrey
