Below is a letter from Mrs. Dougherty, a school counselor at Garfield Elementary who we had the pleasure of working closely with over the past few months:

Hello,  

On behalf of our entire school community, I wanted to extend a sincere thank you for your incredible efforts in funding the after-school clubs’ program.  Your dedication and generosity have made a significant Impact on the lives of our students.

During the 4 weeks of clubs, we witnessed firsthand the joy and enthusiasm that these activities brought to our students.  Many of them come from families who struggle to afford extracurricular activities and your provision of free clubs ensured that our students had the opportunity to participate in something meaningful after school.

Not only did the clubs provide a safe and engaging environment for our students, but they also fostered a sense of belonging among participants.  The positive feedback we received from both students and parents speaks volumes about the value of your initiative.

Thanks, for recognizing the importance of providing accessible opportunities for our students to explore their interests and talents outside of the classroom.  Your support has truly mad e a difference in our school community, and we are immensely grateful for your partnership.

My Best,

Mrs. Dougherty
