John Gallagher

John…

Your spirit will always be around,

Your smile is one that will always be found…

God had other plans for you,

Even though we will never have a clue…

Such youth and innocence lost,

unreal so not worth the cost…

Through these sad times it’s your laugh I want to hear,

your sweet memory I will always hold near…

I know you are free from all the hurt and at such peace,

All the love from your friends and family will never cease..

John you will always be remembered and in our hearts…

Mrs. Escobar

 

Here are some pictures I found from last year with John!

Congrats for the hard work 1st quarter – well done especially to my A/B students…

Next quarter for those of you who slipped a bit remember it’s a new start on Monday… You are ALL capable of being an A/B student – put your mind & effort to it and you can do it!  Remember I am always here after school if you need HELP – Tutoring (NOT MAKE UP WORK – remember NO LATE work – unless absent & even then you MUST adhere to the make up work policy!)

Don’t wait til it’s too late to do something about your grades… as soon as you need help find a way to get it or it will be too late and then there is nothing I can do past that point to help you increase your math grades on your report card once the quarter is close to coming to an end.

Just think you’ve completed 1/4 of the school & pushing towards your goal of graduating on to high school   Keep up the hard work, positive attitude, and see you all on Monday!  Enjoy your long weekend
