Dear Friend of Wellness:
Amazing teachers in our District

CONGRATULATIONS!



This pandemic has dropped many unexpected responsibilities to all of us without giving any warning or additional time to be prepared to deliver tasks that we are not familiar with or experts on.

One of the many responsibilities given to parents or caregivers during these days, is the task to become that 'guiding light' that many teachers are known to offer our children every day.

Let me reassure you that through these past seven weeks...no one is taking any teacher for granted. As a matter of fact, we do not have enough words for the immense gratitude we feel for YOU and your incredible profession.

We want to take this time to THANK all of our teachers in the District for the constant commitment, sparks of light and inspiration, guidance, dedication, selflessness, and unconditional love given daily to our children. Let us tell you...your daily sacrifices have not gone unnoticed... never give UP, and keep pressing ON!


Continue being a beacon of LIGHT
for all the children
and each other...
let's grow  STRONGER  together!


Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
