To THE ENTIRE HORIZON STAFF-
Well it is that time of year, the end of another grade and a time to relax.  We have to take this moment as a family to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you. This year is different for us since we won’t be returning to our safe haven next year. We want to start with saying that the support that all of you have given us as a family but mostly to Kelton this year has been something that we will remember forever.
From the first moment of sending Kelton off to kindergarten and being scared to leave him alone for the day, to walking in the Halloween parade and doing the YMCA, field trips, classroom parties, assemblies, hearing Kelton tell me how awesome his teachers are(especially outside of class and finding out about all the tattoos) fundraisers, getting to know parents, recess, what he had for lunch, class projects, the hockey game, camp, to watching him on HOWL TV and so much more we have been so appreciative of the staff of this elementary school. I think that we are all in agreement that Kelton is a remarkable child, and I have to admit that as his parent’s cannot take ALL the credit for it. As the staff of an elementary school not only do you establish education in our children but you help to mold them into the people they will one day become. You give the base and you give them the stars. Over and over again throughout Kelton’s life people have complimented us how what a wonderful child we have raised. Richard and I often don’t know what to say because we just feel that that is the person he is. All of us are equally responsible in molding him into a caring strong person. Not just him but all of the children that each and every one of you have the honor to come in contact with. We wish that we could thank you each personally.
I have to admit that I am both happy and very sad (possibly a little scared) that this year is coming to an end. I am sure that all of you feel that every year. We as family have an unknowing road in front of us and some serious hurdles to jump ahead. The one thing that I do know is that we will never have the support that all of you have given us in any other school. Thank you is just never enough. I wish that each of could feel the appreciation that we have in our hearts for all that you have given to contribute to the growth of Kelton.
I can tell you only this…..I tell Kelton that he is my favorite song. You know that feeling when you hear your favorite song? It doesn’t matter where you are, at the grocery store or in your car. It makes you smile it makes you want to dance. You feel like you are young and can do anything, your emotions soar and you are on top of the world. You sing every word and know every beat. That is Kelton to me. He brings that joy to me every day and I just want to thank you for helping us write the lyrics and discover the beat.
We will continue to fight our battle because for us there is no other option. Thank you all and my god bless you and continue to allow you to give the gift of molding a phenomenal individual both in education and in spirit as you blessed us with.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT…….GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!

With All Our Love-
Alanna and Richard Little
