Gratitude for Growth — A Thanksgiving Message

As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve been reflecting on the many moments of growth I’ve witnessed this year, and I want to share my heartfelt gratitude for the trust you place in me as your partner in your students’ educational and career journey.

Over the past months, I’ve seen students discover new strengths, take steps outside their comfort zones, and navigate challenges. Whether they’re exploring new academic interests, preparing for college, or imagining future career paths, each milestone reminds me that growth is not a single moment — it’s a continuous process. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them as they learn more about who they are and who they’re becoming.

Behind every student working hard to build their future is a parent supporting, guiding, and encouraging them. Your partnership, your questions, your willingness to adapt, and your steady presence make a tremendous difference. Thank you for all you do to help your student grow with confidence.

As we head into the holiday season, I hope you find time to slow down, celebrate how far your student has come, and enjoy moments of connection with the people who matter most. Growth takes patience, energy, and heart, and this is a well-deserved opportunity to recharge.

Wishing you and your family a warm, joyful, and restful Thanksgiving. I’m grateful for each of you — and excited for the growth the year ahead will bring.
