Kemp - Brazile End of year

Parents -

Remember early dismissal Tuesday and Wednesday (12:15).

This is it!

Can't believe the year is over. Maybe it was all the snow days, but the year seems to have flown by.

I remember how the kids were so overwhelmed back in August. They've grown quite a bit since. I hope you (parents) see the same growth in maturity and responsibility that I see. It should pay dividends next year. When you hear other parents talk about the struggles adjusting, hopefully you can smile knowing your student has adjusted well. They know how to manage their time and resources, or at least they should. :)

Thanks to all of the parents for a smooth year. I appreciate the buy-in to a new way of educating your children. I truly put all I can into making it a worthwhile year. It takes us all to make it successful and I feel as if it's a successful year.

In keeping with the technology theme of the year, I've put together a short video I made for the kids. I'm not sure what impression I leave with the kids. Is it techno-nerd, is it project-crazed teacher, is it the silence loving teacher, or the cartoon version? Whatever it is, my cartoon version takes a turn in my sendoff video.

Thanks again for the support. I ask one thing as we end the year. Please don't call me "Mr. Brazile" when you see me. I understand during the year, because that's how your child refers to me, but I'm much more informal. "Shane" is preferred. If you have another name in mind, I may avoid you. :) (Should I be worried that a grown man has two smiley faces in his email?)

I look forward to hearing great things about your kids.

Thanks,
Shane Brazile
