Ms. Thrasher
Thank You Note
Ms. Thrasher has been the most loving and kindest person I have ever met. My family has seen some hard times. Hard enough that it effects everyone in our house. My grand children mean the world to me and when I go through life changing events, Ms. Thrasher has always showed me concern for us all. We love her so much..her prayers are powerful and her love and kindness is endless...we thank god we have her as a teacher and our bus driver. And as our friend. Honestly don't know if I would of made it through some of those harder times had it not been for her love and prayers. She is a very important asset to Cardinal School and to us as well. We are totally blessed to have her. So Kirstin don't ever change a single thing about yourself because to us you're almost perfect. We love you lady. God bless you and yours.

Mr. Matt, I just wanted to say thank you for going above and beyond to make the little Comet children smile, especially on the playground and doing certain dances. You really know how to keep things fun around here at the elementary, and we really appreciate that. All your hard work doesn't go unrecognized, keep smiling and keep up the good work!
