Dear Tracy,
The new families are here!!
Last month 10 excited, ambitious (and slightly nervous) families started their new beginning at Saranam!
One mother described it like winning the lottery. In a way it was; we had nearly 120 applications for the 10 available slots.
Like every year, everyone carries with them a different story. But what every person shared during orientation was this common sentiment:
“It is not IF I will be successful, but WHEN I am successful.”
This is the optimism- and confidence- that we hope infuses families every single day with us. All these families join us with tremendous hope and with every passing day, we will soon see it transform into belief.
Some of our alumni joined us to welcome the new parents and share words of encouragement and wisdom from their own time at Saranam.
"I hope you succeed and know that you have people who care for you...celebrate your achievements but raise the bar each time. Never stop!" -Saranam alumnus
The adults are already on their way. Right out of the gate two parents are enrolled in medical programs and the rest are excited to discover where their passions lie. The next few weeks will be full of career assessments, study skills, and brushing up on fundamentals.
What about the kids, you ask?! We have 24 new ones; 12 toddlers, 7 elementary schoolers, and 5 middle and high schoolers. Every one of them smiled ear to ear when they saw the rooms that welcomed them and the new friends they can play with.
With our halls very cute and very busy this fall, this is a great time to get involved with tutoring, family nights, supply drives and more! Make sure you’re signed up for our volunteer newsletter so you can plug into the fun.
Thank you for making it possible for these new families to be with us. We know your support is never an IF but a WHEN and we consider ourselves so lucky to have you by our side.
