To all of you who took it upon yourselves to make my family's day a whole lot brighter, I offer my deepest expression of gratitude. I was totally blindsided by how difficult the last day of school was for our 9 year-old. He came out of school upset and begging to be kept back in the third grade. Transition and leaving the comfortable relationships he has established has been particularly hard on him these days. The package on our front doorstep upon returning home was an incredibly welcome sight. He and his brothers and sisters dove right in. (I consider myself lucky to have been able to piece together the return address to send this thank you.)

The contributing students are extremely creative! The box contained something for everyone! The kids divided up everything to the last piece of candy and left me the People magazine (I will be wrestling the spa gift card from them soon!). Eddie read all the notes to the other kids and they were proud to hear the messages.

I hope you are all able to get this thank you and know how much we all enjoyed your efforts. You are a very generous, big-hearted, compassionate group of students and I thank you again very much for the joy you brought to our family. My husband is serving in Afghanistan and has been gone since February. We expect him home by March next year. Groups like yours make it easy to see why my husband feels the dedication he does to this country and why it is with great pride my kids and I are able to share him.

Enjoy your summer and continued success in your humanitarian endeavors!
