Thank you, Dr. Karp, for being a valued member of our Middle School Team.
In truth, I could write numerous observations on your behalf that cover all 5 of our school's core values. Since joining our community of learners, you have certainly exemplified each of these values on a regular basis. Thank you.
I would like to highlight the great act of chesed that you did for us back in November when you joined our Middle School Team. As I am sure you recall, we were in desperate need of someone who could bring care and stability to our Grade 6 Social Studies program. In short order, you turned things around. Our students were smiling again and were genuinely enjoying learning. At this point, they are absolutely thriving under your care. We could not be more grateful for your efforts.
Thanks, again, for this chesed and for bringing your warmth and passion to our community.
