Dear 1st Graders,
I am beyond proud of you for making all the progress you have made this year! You are all readers and great mathematicians!
Our class has the kindest hearts and I have loved watching you problem solve for each other in such creative ways. You have been there for each other as friends and supporters! Such a beautiful quality to see in each one of you.
My hope for you is you will remember the three promises we made each day! Read everything there is to read, do your very best job, and make the world a more beautiful place! Each one of you is the change we need in this world!
Parents, what a joy to partner with you this year! You are phenomenal teachers!
I hope your summer is filled with joyful memories and some rest, too!
Thank you for sharing your children with me!
Blessings,
Mrs. Piper

VHC 3rd Grade Students and Families,

You are amazing! You have worked so hard, and accomplished so much this year! I’m so proud of you, and love seeing how you have grown! I enjoyed learning more with you about world cultures, and seeing your projects at our culture fair! Mostly, I loved getting to spend time with you and see how kind and caring you are as you helped one another, and included everyone in our classroom community!

Thank you, families, for all of your hard work at home, learning and growing together! I loved partnering with you for your child’s success, and there was a lot to celebrate!

… and to all 3rd grade students, past and future, I’m going to miss being in the classroom with you as I make a change to working in the home school support program, because YOU are the reason I love to teach! ❤️🙌

Blessings,
Mrs. Beck

Open Doors students intentionally create class atmospheres where each person feels included, respected, and valued. These young people are the future of our community, and they have a deep sense of justice and equity that fills me with hope. They're my heroes!

Sharing this school year with you and your children has been an honor.  I could not have asked for better support from home.
I have enjoyed watching our class come together as a community by supporting one another on a daily basis.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for all of you.  Now it's time for you to have an AMAZING summer!

2nd graders - you rocked it this year! You all made so much growth as learners and citizens of your neighborhoods. Parents, thanks for all the teaching you put into making this a successful year for your child. It was my honor to be their "other" teacher. Please have a well deserved relaxing and fun summer.

It has been such a pleasure to work with your family the last part of this year. Thank you for all your amazing work with your 1st grade student in such a foundational year! I've enjoyed getting a glimpse into their incredible minds through their writing, participation in our Zoom classes, and their various assignments. This program wouldn't work without your hard work and daily dedication. Best wishes to the continuing academic success and social emotional well being of your child as they go through the rest of their schooling and beyond. Here's to some well deserved rest and fun this summer as well as a fantastic start to next school year.

Cheers!

The success of VLA is due to our parent partnership.

Never before in my career have I had the opportunity to work so closely with parents. It has been a wonderful ADVENTURE.

It has been a pleasure getting to know your children in 1-1 and small group environments. You have done such a great job raising your children. Thank you for letting me play this small roll in it.

Love, Mrs. Merritt
5th grade VLA

While I do love my colleagues, the endorphine rush I experience when Open Doors students walk through our classroom doors reminds me why I come to work every day. You have endured a lot of change this year and weathered it like champions. I adore you all and appreciate your trust and willingness to risk.
