I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you.

This year has been truly special for my son — and for me as his mom. After some tough school experiences in the past, this year felt like a breath of fresh air. Healing, even. He finally felt safe, happy, and excited to learn. That’s huge.

Thank you for your care, your kindness, and for creating a space where he could just be himself — emotional, curious, imaginative. He’s been blooming, slowly and beautifully, and I know it’s because he’s been seen and supported.

I’m deeply grateful for each of you. What you do matters so much — and it shows.

With love and appreciation,
Galina

First of all, we want to thank all the staff for the ease of transition for our daughter Janai coming from a half a world away. The personal attention given to our daughter by each of the teachers were especially moving to us as a family and profoundly appreciated. Janai took away a new self confidence that parents cannot do alone. We also appreciate how each of the professors expressed their positive and kind words about Janai. We have no doubt that Janai will always reflect back to her time at Brewster no matter where her future plans take her! As parents we are also especially grateful for being a part of the Brewster family.

Saludos y un abrazote

With this mindset and passion, we have no doubt the school will continue to grow and thrive.

Warmly,
Kenza

Thank you all at Brewster for the support, care and patience you’ve given me this year. I know it was not always easy, but it means a lot to me. Your patience and dedication have made a real difference in my life, both inside and outside school. A special thanks to:

Miss Marcellus – For making English feel alive and for your passion. And also for always being kind and supportive, especially during difficult times. Mrs. Crumpler – For believing in me even when I doubted myself, and for pushing me to do my best while always being kind and encouraging.

Mr. Donahue – For the coolest history teacher. Your support and honesty have really motivated me, and your honest feedback has made me think differently.

Mrs. Díaz – For your energy and your constant positivity. You make every class feel lighter and better.

Thanks again to all of you for caring this year. For the first time, I enjoyed school.

Miss Judith – Thank you for always being patient and kind. You made Sofia grow in confidence every day. Learning felt safe and fun. She even enjoyed coding, who would have thought? Miss Mica – Thank you for making Math, her least favorite, not as scary as before. In your classes, Sofia tried harder and felt more confident every day! Mrs Pissano- Merci !! Grâce à vous, Sofia a repris confiance en elle et se sent capable de parler français. Elle a commencé l’année persuadée qu’elle ne savait rien, et elle la termine fière de tout ce qu’elle a appris… au point de parfois me corriger à la maison ! Alors merci (je crois 😄). Mr. Murcia – Thank you for making history so interesting and making her feel she can do anything!

Thanks again to all of you for making this a great year!

This year you have sparked my new love for math. I know lots of students go around saying to random teachers “you are my favorite teacher” but i mean it! I used to hate math but the way you teach has gotten me to love it so much i want to continue with it later on in life. The way you teach makes everything understandable. You manage to help teach any type of learner! I will forever thank you for this new found love of mine! Thank you Ms micas!

Dearest K2 teachers,

Thank you for this wonderful year! I've learned so much, especially English. I came from the Netherlands and didn't speak any English when I started here, and it was quite nerve-wracking to come to school. But you helped me incredibly much! I'm going to miss you during the summer holidays!

Lots of love,

We are deeply grateful for the incredible support, guidance, and dedication that you have shown to Natalia this year. Your role has gone far beyond that of a teacher—you have been a true mentor, encouraging her to push her limits, believe in herself, and reach for ambitious goals.

We especially want to thank you for the extra time and effort you invested to ensure that she was challenged academically, well-prepared for her next year, and ready for a future transition to college. Your willingness to go above and beyond has made a real difference—she has found a passion for biology and is now looking for a future as a scientist.

We feel very lucky to have crossed paths with you this year. We will remember you and hope to see you again one day in Madrid, in Philly or in Colombia!!

Muchas gracias por la dedicación a tu trabajo, te extrañaremos .

Mr. Brendan, your unwavering enthusiasm in the classroom shines through and makes history come alive. Thank you for making the subject genuinely exciting for Natalia.

Mr. Rock, thank you for helping Natalia take her writing to the next level. Your guidance and high standards truly made a difference in her confidence and skills.

Mr. Michael, we’re so grateful for the way you nurtured Natalia’s creativity. It’s been wonderful to see her grow her passion for art and develop confidence in her talent.

Mr. Mendoza, thank you for sparking Natalia’s interest in Spanish literature. One of our goals for our year in Madrid was to deepen our kids’ connection to Spanish culture—and studying the classics with your guidance was such a meaningful and enjoyable way to do it.

Mrs. Velardi, thank you for supporting and encouraging Natalia to seek out challenges.

We are grateful for the passion, time, and care each of you brought to your teaching this year.
