From Mrs Tennenbaum
This meme struck a cord in my heart so I had to share. A week or so ago, I reached out to a former high school student to see how he was doing. He shared that 14 years later, he still thinks of me and wonders where he would be had it not been for my influence ( or my refusal to give up on him). We are making an impact on even the youngest kids and they will remember how you made them feel loved and supported. They will remember the safety and the connections to their school. Thank you for your part in making Fairfield a place where families can feel the positivity, the passion and the connections.
Enjoy your 3 day weekend- you have earned it this week. :)
I see you, I value you and I appreciate you. This school is not the same without you!
We don't do Average, we do Awesome!
We are all in this together!
