Students in the lower grades at Hampton Elementary School were given the opportunity to write a special note to a very special lady.

Kay Church, known affectionately at the school as Ms. Kay, is fighting a battle with cancer and to help cheer her up, the teachers at Hampton Elementary had their students write notes to Ms. Kay or to share their favorite memory of her. The school shared some of their notes with us and some of them are printed below.
