Giving Thanks

I did not want Thanksgiving Day to pass without taking a moment to thank you all for helping to make Endeavor Charter School so great.

The school's strength comes in part from the special role that the parent community needs to play in helping run the school. Without your help day in and day out, the school simply could not function, so your work truly makes a difference.

Each day is a new triumph when you run a dropoff and a pickup carpool without a single injury or accident, when you provide lunch for all the kids in the school each cafe day, when our children can play safely on the playgrounds you created and equipped, and when the teachers are able to use the white boards, cork boards and furniture that you helped make usable for them.

Our latest success happened this week when we met our goal for the Lion's Share Fundraiser by just slightly exceeding our target amount raised. To be sure, your generosity will enable us to implement all the programs we set out in our budget, and for that I am truly grateful.

But I also wanted to thank you for your continued support on committees, volunteering at lunch & recess and all the other ways you volunteer for the school. Please don't forget how important that is - in a way it's how we keep the parents' part of the "charter" in the charter school.

All the best,
JB
