A Heartfelt Thank You

Posted

To the Editor,

As the end of the 2017 school year comes to an end, I would like to thank a few amazing individuals, who were there for my son through one of his most difficult years, academic and behavior wise. In the beginning of this year Mrs. Laura Lynch an 8th grade Spanish teacher seen some of his struggles, At this point she had stepped up an volunteered to mentor him through the year, realizing how difficult over all this may be...She then switch him in her home room, helping with supporting him in her class and as well as others. Organizing all his work into special binders, setting reminders of daily work, setting aside herself or others after school, daily logs, contacting me daily and much more showing so much dedication. Mostly showing my son and myself such amazing support. This teacher went above and beyond, regardless at times how difficult it may have gotten; she never gave up on him. He was a challenge for her and she loved him anyways, and never giving up on him, she will never realize how special she is to our family.

The support from Secretary Anne Marie Cheney, who built a loving motherly bond with him, just as she does with all the students. On difficult days he would escort himself down to the office just to go sit with Anne Marie and to see what snacks she would have for him. She always knew the right words to say to him and he loved that, she could still get any smile out of him. As well as Assistant Principal, Mike Martone and Principal Joe Pirraglia at some of his challenging days these two came together an still showed much needed support.. In many cases most parents will say they prefer not to be contacted by any principal, but myself over the past year it was a regular call and they become family as well, as angry they may have seemed at times still never giving up on him. To a parent it truly means the world. And to all the 8th grade staff teachers thank you. Privileged to say this school is a big part of our lives. Thank You all.
