Dear KIPP Teachers,
I want to express my appreciation for your excellent work teaching my children. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I know last year was very different from the others. However, it was a year that taught us to appreciate your hard work. It’s not easy to teach via Zoom, and even more so when you have to take care of your own children at home.
Last year was a challenge for everyone, but it was a year of learning too. I started to think how difficult this would all be for teachers with children at home who also needed their help, and teachers who have children with special needs. My son told me one of his teachers has a child with special needs. I understand you have even more things to do now, which makes me appreciate your hard work even more. It has been a challenging year for all of us, but teachers have shown us great strength.
Equally important, I wanted to tell my son’s adviser thanks for supporting him from when he started high school until today. I was very grateful when you brought him his Christmas gift. This moment was extraordinary for my son, because I looked at his face and how happy he was when he saw your present outside. It was a great day for all of your students because you took the time to come to each student’s home and make their day a little more special. I appreciate all your support for my son, and additionally, your positive attitude.
We also wish a very Happy Teachers Day to our principal. You are a solid and inspiring leader of our school. We are truly blessed to have you — happy Teachers Day to our principal and all the teachers. You are the best!
