• The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of this letter, there are six pages.

Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14.
• BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.... none of your parents will have seen this one (at least in 2016, as it was created in June 2016).
