“Thank you immensely for taking Elle on this lifetime trip. I really mean lifetime given the location, history and devotion of you talented, kind teachers. She came home beaming with pride of her new adventures and friends. I am still hearing tales from your trails and hope to for a long time. You went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and she loved spending every minute with you.
You both are amazing in every way! We are so lucky to have you give your time, knowledge and camaraderie to our teens.
