“Actually, thank YOU! That parent info/Q&A was the first time in two years that I have left a “school meeting” feeling more positively about a program. In any event, my thanks to you and your colleagues for the bright spot of hope. Quinn and I are both super excited for the time he is going to spend with you, and I am already hoping that future summers might include even more of it! VERY best wishes” – Elysabeth (2022 Parent)
