To Ms. Derrig, Ms. V, and Ms. Vargas,

Thank you for being the special people that assisted us to get Justin and Kayden accepted and situated in the Samara Community School. Since our 1st day at school, Ms. Derrig without knowing us you immediately knew who we were and accepted us with open arms. Ms. V, thank you for always being available and wanting the best for the boys. Ms. Vargas, thank you for being who you are, the best Parent Coordinator in the NYC Dept. of Education!!!!

The best is yet to come!

Always,

Elizabeth and Elvis De la Cruz.

To Ms. Lopez, Ms. Sanchez, Mrs. Colon, Ms. Brioso, Mr. Vasquez, Ms. Mendoza, and Ms. Mandel for the success of Justin and Kayden. Our children arrived to Samara not speaking a word in English, and its so rewarding to see how much they have learned this academic school year regardless of the stressors of this pandemic. I can’t thank you all enough for your dedication, love, desire to teach which has assisted the boys to become “Super Matemáticos”!!! Both boys love Math. Thank you for always answering messages and calling us with updates and for wanting to see the boys succeed. I wish there were more teachers like the teachers in Samara!!!

With gratitude,
La Familia De la Cruz.

So fortunate to have such a supportive principal in Samara Community School. A principal who engages with every student, that takes all of the possible leaps to get all of the students exactly where they should be, who focuses on learning through ALL of the different avenues, engages with the community, and focuses so much on inclusivity and ensuring that parents are included and learning as well. Thank you Ms. Derrig for doing such a service to the Bronx. A neighborhood that many from the outside fear to come to, but Samara is such a perfect example of what can be accomplished when someone who loves & cares is walking by your side. Your support is unremarkable- never forget that you are changing the future generations in such a positive way- by guiding your staff, parents and the students.

Thank you for inspiring Olivia N. to take risks in her art. Your influence is apparent in her desire to transform everything around her into an art piece.  She always finds things she wants to bring back and share with you. She sees art (or the possibility of art) everywhere. Thanks again!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Ayden's village of helpers!
This time has been so tough for all of us, but, as teachers you all have truly been the heroes that he needed to get through this pandemic. Thank you for continued dedication and providing the support he needed to get through his daily challenges of learning remotely. I can see the gears turning in his head when he is able to make the connection on certain subjects. He talks so much about his day and what he learned.
Thank you for your encouraging words to the families. I am so inspired by the daily commitment that you as teachers give to our kindergarten children- and us the parents making us feel like we can get through anything together. I love how you are all able to bring the magic and wonder into their lives and make them feel so safe where at times the world didn't feel that way.
You are all truly awesome.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Ms. Lopez, Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Colon, and Ms Angulo- Thank you all for being so nurturing and loving to my Adalina- she is opening up so much in Samara and loves all the special little things you all do daily (like brushing her doll's hair on Show and Tell Day!)
Mr. Meade- Ada told me all about the tumbao and plays the rhythms she is learning with sticks on trees in the park!
Mr. Ashlock- Ada loves singing new songs and has us all sing "Who stole my Valentine?" and the Hello song all the time.
Ms. Mariana- Ada loved showing off her CD art in the garden!
Mr. Rodriguez- Yesterday, Ada said her favorite part of the day was "Going to Gym!"
Ms. Lilly- If I eat dark chocolate, Ada now says, "Mommy, that is not a color of the rainbow!"  Now she opens the fridge and asks herself, "What color of the rainbow do I want to eat?"

Thank you all!
