She was so forgiving and saw the best in people, no matter what.&#160; She loved dressing fancy and having fun with her fashion for school.&#160; When someone asked why she got so fancy, she said, \u201cI get fancied up for all of you guys!\u201d and that\u2019s truly why she does it!&#160; She loves to make people smile!&#160; She came home with the sweetest stories about her friends and their creativity together!&#160; Her reading has really taken off, and we are excited to get into some chapter books this summer.&#160; It\u2019s been a good challenge for all of us, and I\u2019m proud of the Pond family for pulling together, sticking together, and making the most out of this year.&#160; You did it, Bella, and we couldn\u2019t be more proud of you!!!&#160;
