You are an awesome teacher. I know that teaching from home must be difficult at times but I am yet to hear frustration in you voice. As I have mentioned to you before I listen to every one of your classes. I have learnt more about government and politics from your class than I knew before. Learnt a lot whilst working from home.  I appreciate all your hard work. You give every scholar an opportunity for success.

Forever Thankful ❤
I just want to say thank you to all the amazing Teachers past and present who in one way or another helped my daughter. Your hard work and dedication to her as well as all the other scholars has not gone unnoticed. Even though these have not been the normal 4 years of high school, you've all managed to come together and do what you had to do to continue teaching our children in the midst of this pandemic. I read this once God doesn't give us what we can't Handle, God helps us handle what we are given. So Thank you all for all your hard work, Thank you for helping when we needed you. As Imani's years is finishing up at AFUP it saddens me that we are not able to properly say our goodbyes. Please keep in touch with us. God Bless you all and may next year bring you back to where you all belong: in a classroom with the children.

Thank you so much for all your help with all the 12th grade. This was definitely an even more unconventional year than last year, so I know the process might not have been the easiest, but you truly have helped a ton.

I might not have externally shown it, but I was always excited to go to your class haha. I appreciate all the kind words you have ever said to me, I appreciate the support you have given me, and I appreciate how willing you always were to lend a helping hand or an ear to listen whenever I may have needed it. Thank you for everything <3

Mr. Piel,

Hiiii, it's been so long. Thank you for being such a positive addition to AFUP. I really loved taking Creative Non-fiction with you; it was one of my favorite classes so it was a great way to end the day in 10th grade. You were always so supportive of whatever I wrote which made me comfortable to be vulnerable with you in my writing. Though our time was short, I really did enjoy every second of it.

Ms. Ng,

Thank you for always being so supportive. When we were in class you always pushed us to utilize our notes, our partners, and to trust our brains because you were so confident in all our abilities. When we transitioned to online learning, you were always there: one text message away. On top of that I remember you texting me some incredibly kind words during those very trying times and for that I thank you; you don't know how much that truly meant to me, especially during that time :)

Mr. Majetich,

This is the first time I am taking a language class and although it has been challenging it has also been exciting. You take the time to make sure that we understand the content and your competitiveness makes the class very interesting.

I wanted to say thank you for all you do for this school. During the morning meetings on Friday, you make sure that the meeting starts with a song that is inspirational or fun to listen to. You also highlight different young entrepreneurs or role models in the Black community which is inspiring to so many people! I know that you do much more work to make online learning easier and so many people in this school recognize the work you put in! So, I wanted to say thank you again for everything.

Mr. Karakashian,

OMG HI. It has been a long, yet short 4 years of knowing you. From freshman year when you would tell me to do more activities and I would just respond with "I don't have time for that," to sophomore year where you would say some really corny jokes in an attempt to get me to laugh or even just smile, to junior year where I was learning how to present better alongside you and being a nice little TA :), to senior year where our paths were no longer crossing as often, but we still kept in touch. I can genuinely say, you are definitely one of my favorite teachers. You have helped me so much, and been a constant support system. I am so thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing you. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! I appreciate you so much <3

Ms. Hildebrand,

Hiiii :D Thank you so much for believing in me. I think you were one of the first teachers that consistently told me that I was more than just an academic student which was hard for me to accept at first, but I am forever grateful that you continued to push me to see myself differently. You constantly wanted me to work towards being proud of myself, and just always being the best I can be. Your words of encouragement, and your endless support will never be forgotten. I do not think there is a teacher as dedicated as you are. You are so appreciated <333
