Tonight you won't get home until late because of your participation in parent/teacher conferences.  It made me picture coming to you as the teacher of one of my kids and how good I would feel knowing they were under your care during the day.  Some of the luckiest kids in the world will get to have Mr. Kurtz.  Their parents will feel so blessed to know they got one of the best.

It makes me wish you could really be the teacher to my kids.  Oh yeah, you already are.

You are going to rock the classroom as much as you rock the home, Mr. Kurtz.
