Dear Kids,

I had so much fun meeting your families last night. It’s always great to see you as sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. I can tell that family is important to you. It’important to me as well. My brothers are my best friends, even though we fought a lot while we were growing up. Family stays with you your whole life but friends often come and go.

I look forward to meeting the rest of your families tonight. What you do in school reflects on your family, so make sure you make them proud.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
