Here it is the last week of school and the last time I'll be driving to the elementary school.

The last of my two daughters is heading to fourth grade. Both our girls began their school careers at Bullard Elementary, and they have been blessed with great teachers.

I have worked at the Fall Festivals, enjoyed the field days and the award ceremonies.

I'd like to thank Mrs. Hurst who works so hard to make the children's time they spend at school both fun and educational.

Mrs. Hurst has that school running like a well oiled machine.

She is there mornings and afternoons on car duty.

I think it's wonderful that the principal of the school is there to welcome them.

We moved to Bullard because of the school and so far it has lived up to its reputation.

So, again a big thank you to Mrs. Hurst and her staff for all their hard work and though I won't miss the drive down Schoolhouse Road I will miss them.
