Dear Raleigh Hills Staff,
I remember our first meeting in the library at this same time last year. Who could have imagined what we would go through together this year at that meeting? I want to thank you most sincerely for welcoming me at Raleigh Hills. I have learned that you are a staff who is innovative, resilient and strong. You have lifted families up onto your shoulders through a very uncertain time in our world.You've celebrated their triumphs, laughed with them, worried over them. You have filled them with memories and a given them a safe harbor. You should be so proud of what you have accomplished.
It was so nice to see you all at the Wave Off today. Thanks for being there and cheering on our families. I wish we could have counted how many cars. It felt like nearly the whole school to me. That is a testament to how you've supported all of our families through this entire year. I hope you have some time to reflect on your amazing journey this year. We did it!
Have a happy summer. Find a way to do something you love. Take some time to breathe. Congratulate yourself on a job well done. You have earned this rest.
Warmly,
Jennifer
