Dear Parents,
As some of you may be aware, I was nominated for the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, Women in Business Newcomer of the Year award. I truly appreciate the efforts of Sasha Baluka (Elizabeth’s mom) who wrote a letter about me and created the opportunity for this in the first place. I am so pleased to announce that at yesterday’s ceremony I was awarded the winner of this honor! I feel it is so important to take the
time to acknowledge and thank my dearest family, amazing friends, the best teachers, and the Apple School families/community for the support and contributions that you all make that allow for our school to gain such recognition. You are a continuous driving force of positivity and brightness that I am so grateful for everyday. I strive to continue the success and growth of our wonderful Apple School!
I want to point out how much I love and appreciate my family, friends, and our Apple School staff and community. In receiving the Women in Business Newcomer of the Year award by the San Fernando Business Journal, I understand that I have received this recognition, along with the kind words of appreciation I receive from passionate families and friends, for the work that I put into making the Apple School the best that it can be everyday. I want to thank my amazing family for being with me every step of the way. I am truly blessed to have a family like I do, incredibly supportive, loving and an inspirational group of people that always motivate me. I am also surrounded by lifelong friends who have always been supportive and brought such laughter and cheer to me throughout my 30 year career in early childcare.
The Apple School would not be what it is without the tremendous families and many other terrific parents and groups of people that I have had the pleasure of working with over the years. They have helped me to manage the Apple School in the most functional and worry free way. This has enabled me to dedicate so much quality time in growing the school into what it has become. The Apple School staff is filled with a collective group of passionate, hard working and creative set of people that truly are responsible for making the school what it is at its core. Our entire staff puts their focused effort and energy into accomplishing the goals and achievements that the Apple School sets for all our incredible children. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my family, friends, Apple School staff, parents, and community for working as a whole and helping bring this award to our great school. I look at this award as a total effort. This is not an individual award but rather a tribute to a collective effort. I define it as OURS and I love all of you so deeply for that. Thank you!
Today, marks the one year anniversary of the Apple School’s opening! As you can probably imagine, this represents a huge accomplishment for our entire staff, our parents, our children, and our community as a whole. We are tremendously excited in the strides we’ve made in growing ourselves from a sparkling seed into a fully grown Apple! Of course this accomplishment could not be done without the full participative support of our community, both parents and children involved. We have the best parent’s any school can ask for. Parent’s who are active participants in not just their own children’s educational futures, but also entire classroom’s as well as the entire school! We would like to thank them for all of their contributions, which came in many different ways, which have helped the Apple School grow and prosper into what it has become today. We would like to extend a sweet and heartfelt thank you for the incredible cards we have been receiving from parents and children as a Happy Birthday to our one year anniversary. They are filled with exquisite and tasteful words which bring instant smiles of happiness to our faces.
We close our final day of Teacher’s Appreciation week in spectacular fashion! Our amazing week was capped off today because of the togetherness and graciousnessof our Apple School families who presented us with the most touching Apple Tree. Their apple tree is the true symbol of our Apple School, a growing, beautiful, and patient being standing tall bringing a community of people together in the effort to nature and nurture. This apple tree is more than a gift to our staff; it is the unrivaled example of true love, understanding, and harmony between children, parents, and school. The thought behind doing something of this unique magnitude brought myself to tears and brought our entire staff pure blissful smiles of joy. We are unbelievably blessed to have such an incredible family community who think of such original and perfect ways to share themselves with a part of us. We have had a wondrously magnificent time this entire week as we have been blessed by our Apple School families, and to end the week with the gift of this apple tree is beyond my imagination for pure family/school unity. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, the families of Zachary and Daniella, Sebastian, Nolan, Pauline, Asher and Griffin, Maya R., Tyler, Maya K., Jacob G, Ayden G., Jakob and Lucas B., Lucas K., Lucas S., Elliana, Elijah, Sasha and Nico, and Jacob M., Vivienne. Thank you to these active parents who coordinate together in the effort to create such a communicative and close community. Thank you to families of Rachel, Arina, Michelle, Jacob G., Giselle, Gavin, Maya K., Landon, Pauline, Lawrence, Kathryn for your sweets, snacks, gifts, cards filled with words of kindness, and much more. Dear ALL families, you ALL truly mean so much to our staff and we are so lucky to have such brilliant parents be the other part to our piece of the Apple School puzzle. Thank you, and much love to all of our families this wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!
