Many thanks to the parents and relatives in this endeavor. Without your support, these cherished keepsakes could have never become as special as they have. Principal Denise Fagan, we appreciate all the time and effort you put into supporting us and pushing us to share our finished stories with others. My grade level teammate, Jen McMahon, was instrumental in pulling my vision of the project into an educational tool for others to utilize. Dianne Krause, our district technology specialist, continues to inspire teachers with technologically innovative resources that allow all our students to be innovative self-directed learners. Staff developer, Bob Yarnall, your patience and ability to listen are sincerely appreciated. Aunt Ruth, you continue to inspire me and your love will always be shared.
