Dear Dave:

When all else fails, you need to rely on those whom you know can plan & think. So we need to during this holiday season need to bring out the Master Strategist, my mother, the late Mrs. June C. Koopmans, B. Ed. to plan IV us. Ma taught at rural schools in Clandonald & McLaughlin, as well as at Rio Terrace & Afton Elementary Schools here in Edmonton. A proud University Of Alberta Faculty of Education graduate, here she sets up a lesson plan for her Grade II students during the month of December as they get ready for the holidays. So its full charge ahead hey mom?!
