Thank You Ambrose Parents

Posted on September 2, 2005

I want to thank you for the dinner and polite company you provided me last Tuesday evening. You made me feel that I "belong" and I really appreciate it. Thank you also for talking the time to listen to me "try" to explain the Supportive Classroom curriculum. Some of the questions were difficult for me to answer since, it is really your children, their teachers and administrators (with your help and guidance) who will decide the details of how the curriculum will be used at Ambrose. When any curriculum is implemented in a school, it is the students, families, staff and community members who make it live. My desire is for every child to feel welcomed, safe, supported and an important part of the learning community. There are many ways to accomplish this. I only offer ideas on what myself and others in Vermont have done. You can take our ideas and others and create a supportive community unique to Ambrose School.

I look forward to meeting your children and hope to see each of you again as well. Thanks again.
