Thank you for your incredible dedication, hard work, and care throughout the year. Whether in the classroom, office, or behind the scenes, each of you plays an essential role in making our school a supportive and inspiring place to learn and grow.

Your efforts make a lasting difference, and we are truly grateful to have such an outstanding team.

With appreciation,

D’or Lane and Family

Thank you for making school such a joyful, welcoming, and exciting place! Every day Dominic is eager to arrive, and no matter what fun things we do on school breaks, he always says he likes school better! It means so much to us to know that, on top of all the specific things he’s learning, he’s also learning to love school itself. You have created a wonderful culture in the classroom this year!

Thanks also for teaching us the phrase “Have a great day on purpose!” - we use that one a lot!

With gratitude,

The Murtons

I recognize that creating a productive and rewarding experience for students depends on the collective efforts of a dedicated team. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the committed teachers, administrators, and support staff at CMI. Your efforts have significantly impacted our experience—a special thank you to Mr. Zach and Ms. Adams.

Thank you all for making CMI a place where our children can thrive both academically and socially.

With gratitude,

Davis/Curtis Family!!

Diana has had such a special year, and grown into herself as a learner and a curious young person. Mostly, we are grateful for how she has seemed to settle into herself and be comfortable with who she is. She has had amazing emotional and social growth this year, and is such a securely happier little person than we knew her to be before. The joy and discovery and community that you've fostered in your classroom has been something we could depend on, and we know the children, and our child, will remember this as a special and formative educational and joy-filled time. Best class ever! We love you, teachers!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

We just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for being such an incredible part of DJ’s life this year. We know that teaching—especially second graders!—is no small feat. It takes heart, patience, humor, and probably a whole lot of coffee.

But what stands out most is the love you bring to the classroom. It’s clear that you truly care about our kids—not just about what they learn, but who they are. That means the world to us. DJ feels seen, safe, and supported, and that’s because of YOU.

So from the bottom of our hearts (and from DJ’s growing brain and big smile), thank you for everything you do—every lesson, every high five, every moment of grace and encouragement.

We see you. We appreciate you. We’re so grateful for you.

With love and gratitude,

The Malones

Mr. Jeffrey, we appreciate how much you pour into the kiddos. They have so much fun with you and we recognize all you do for them.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Thank you for nurturing and inspiring learning in your classroom. Your dedication to literacy in particular has developed a great love of reading in our daughter. We are so grateful to you both for everything you do!

Holly & Ian

Thank you for broadening our kiddos’ education in very meaningful ways this year! We are so glad to see what our girls bring home from each of your classes! From Spanish songs introducing new vocabulary, to the fruit orchestra at STEAM night, to exploring creative media through art to new games with physical activity-each of you has expanded our daughters’ education and love of school.

Thank you for all that you do!

Holly & Ian

Paulos has grown so much this year and it is because of your dedication to education! He loves coming to school everyday and looks forward to learning new things. Thank you for creating such a wonderful space for him to thrive! We appreciate you both a bunch! God bless!

Paulos’ parents - Lili & Yohanes

We truly appreciate the safe and loving environment that you all have created for my Kaleb! This year has been a breath of fresh air for us, and it truly has been amazing seeing how much he has grown. We are so thankful that he has teachers that truly care about his unique way of learning and really leaning in into helping him thrive! God bless you all & can’t say thank you enough!!

Lydia’s parents - Lili & Yohanes

I have not seen Kaleb this engaged in Mandarin in the almost 6 years he’s been taking it at CMI. He lights up when he sees you during morning drop off. Thank you for the joy you spark in him!

Kaleb’s parents - Lili & Yohanes

Thank you for recognizing and highlighting Paulos’ creative side. He felt really proud to be elected for student of the month in both, Art & Spanish. Thank you for pushing him to try new mediums Mr Garwin as you know his safe place is sketching mainly dinosaurs.

I love when Lydia comes home and teaches me what she’s learned in Spanish - it’s seriously impressive how much her and Paulos know! Lydia loves music & you, equally Mr Dunn! Ms T. thank you for jumping in and making the best out of losing Ms Long in the middle of the year! It’s this sort of dedication we truly appreciate in these unstable times. Thank you, thank you again, Mr Garwin, Ms Lopez, Mr Dunn, & Ms T. for giving your all daily! It doesn’t go unnoticed! You all have been wonderful, caring, and most importantly consistent teachers over the years for all 3 of our kiddos!!

Kaleb, Paulos, & Lydia’s parents - Lili & Yohanes

You all consistently go above and beyond to create a positive and supportive environment. Whether it’s helping my son through a tough moment or simply offering a kind word, your compassion shines through in everything you all do.

I’m truly grateful!!!
