Only, it's from Jasmine Gibson to all the teachers in Ada. It's one of over a dozen thank you notes written by students in Mrs. Winklejohn's elementary art classes and posted on the Ada Bulldogs Facebook.

The thank you notes cover just about every occupation of essential workers that you can list – you will see several examples at the bottom of this story and by clicking here (to the Ada Bulldogs Facebook).
