First of all, I want to THANK YOU for the most wonderful honor on Class Day! I was so surprised and so so so touched. You gave me a lasting gift; I will forever remember seeing you standing up in the bleachers cheering and clapping and the words you shared were incredible. Wow. I'm still in shock and savoring the moment.
Second of all, you ALL worked so very hard on your term papers and I loved loved loved reading them. In typical Garliss fashion, they took me a while to turn back and have lots of marks on them to help you learn how to improve for future papers. I will be mailing them back to you along with your TIOBE tests. If you want your pin, or any of the papers you left in your files in the classroom, email me and I'd be happy to include those in the envelope home as well.
***PLEASE USE MY GMAIL ADDRESS: shawnagarliss@gmail.com (NOT SPSG address).***
Also, if your mailing address is different than the one in the green roster, please send me the correct address. I will be assembling and mailing it all tomorrow (Monday) before turning in my laptop and keys:(.
Last, but not least, I hope you will stay in touch with me. One perk I like to offer my former students is ongoing writing help, tips and encouragement. If you ever want an extra set of eyes to look at your paper, feel free to send it to me on google docs using my gmail address.
I miss you already. Have a safe and relaxing summer. And, thanks again for nominating me for the Excellence in Teaching Award. I am truly moved by your gesture.
Fondly,
Mrs. Garliss
