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

You have been a great mentor to me and you have helped me through some tough times. Thank you for always being there.

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.

You're the best teacher in the world because you're a good math teacher. Thank you for teaching me the math games and helping me how to count and count backwards.

You have each played a meaningful and positive role in Oti's journey, and we've witnessed firsthand the growth and progress he has made under your care. Your support, patience, and kindness have helped make this school year not only successful but truly joyful for him.

We look forward to getting to know you all better and to continuing to build a strong, supportive partnership for the future. Together, we are laying the foundation for our children’s bright tomorrows.

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,

Benthe

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.

Gracias,
