Message from the Executive Director

Happy Spring!

All around us, our environment reminds us that spring is a time for new growth, for revival, for cheer. Spring reminds me of our students. We are continually amazed by their tenacity, their growth, and their optimism. You are such a driving force in our students' lives and we are grateful for you. Throughout the year, we tend to our students, nurturing and encouraging them. In springtime, our students, like the world around us, demonstrate growth and positivity, rejoicing in their accomplishments and successes. You are the gardener. Their progress is a result of your commitment. Thank you for being there to grow, nurture, and facilitate this progress.

I hope that as the weather turns nicer, you will find yourself with opportunities to enjoy the outside world - grass, flowers, picnics, and fun with friends and family. Remember that you, too, need sunshine and fresh air. Don’t forget your allergy meds, though! :)

Respectfully,

Kristen Williams, Executive Director
