“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. If only every student had one dedicated teacher, the world would be a better and easier place. You understand the role of a teacher and it’s potentially positive role – you continually invest in your students for their and our future. For this I am eternally grateful.”
