Love Letters
Dear Evyn: I am so grateful for the obvious effort you invest in your students! I am quite certain that if I had ever had a math teacher as wonderful and invested as you, I might have learned so much more:). Thank you for your regular email updates but thanks more deeply for your commitment to math education. Best regards, Laury

We need to say thank you, again, for your support and advise. It was rather pathetic how emotionally drained we were, enough to say "just go...". That was quite scary. Things have improved a lot – in just few short weeks. We often see signs of the other person who has lived here. School is now Heather's only source of income. She decided that working over a hot grill for minimum wage was not very enjoyable – thank goodness! We realize that this will not be totally smooth-sailing from here on. Jane, you are such a special person, really... Just knowing there is help, if we need it, makes such a difference in how we look at each day. Thank you, thank you!
Mike & Jana M.
Thank you so much for all that you have done for Nick & Brian. Tom & I have never had the kind of strength and support that you have given us to deal with our situation with Nick before now. We really appreciate your counsel and work with Nick. We have written him thankful we are that God has spared his life, and we pray that he'll settle down and apply himself to growing in the confidence that he needs. May God bless you all.

Reegan, Tom and I can't thank you enough for the amazing "turnaround" we've seen in Reegan this semester. Accelerated Schools has truly empowered her and allowed for success academically during this period of healing. This may not be good-buy, but it is a heartfelt thank you.
Diane & Tom S.
I just want to say "Thank you" for your patience and understanding with Sofia. I do appreciate all you've done. You'll be happy to know that.
Sofia
I just want to say thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for helping me realize my full potential. I'll stay in touch and will come and see everyone soon. So thanks once again for believing in me.

I have never really let you know what a tremendous influence you (Toni O'Keefe, teacher) and Accelerated Schools have had on my life. I look at my life now and what it took me to become the person I am. Both of You (Toni & the school) played BIG role in my belief of me and other people. You showed me that even "problem children" can be loved and respected and can reach the goals they put in front of them. I'm sure you have many students, past and present, who feel the same way. They may not always let you know this. You mean so much for both me and my family. You are spoken of often and in high regard, you saved my life!
Laura M.
Pat & I would like to thank you, Karen and the entire staff of Accelerated Schools for the diligence and caring about Cory. Though the return on our investment may be far down somewhere, we are certain you've all played a large part in preparing him for the journey. Bless you all!
Mike & Pat R.
We greatly appreciate the time and effort you devoted to helping us and our daughter, Rachel, through a difficult time in her life, and in our relationship with her. Your professional guidance contributed significantly to Rachel's current academic success, as well as our improved relationship as a family. Although she attended Accelerated Schools for a brief time, the methods used to modify a student behavior, and redirect them, worked well with Rachel. You will be pleased to know she has become more serious about her goals and being responsible for the success or failure she may experience in attaining those goals. We wish you and the staff of Accelerated Schools continued success in offering an alternative to the standard approach to teaching. Please accept our check as a Thank you… for the great work you do..
Terrie & Harvey A.
A BIG thank you to all the teachers and staff at Accelerated Schools. Jessica's grades at mid-quarter this year are the best she has ever brought home... Thank you!"

Saying Thank You to you seems so insignificant to what you have done for our family. In several hours, you managed to helped us more than anyone has over the past 7,5 years. Your words, encouragement and empathy for our situation has helped all of us more than all of the individual counselors, social workers, family therapists, communication specialists, and the list goes on and on.. You bridged a gap that is now enabling our family to try and put the pieces together again. Paige is truly putting forth an effort that I haven't seen before in years. You truly helped save our family unit, and we are all extremely grateful.

Just a note of thanks for all you've done for Mike. For the first time, he is anxious to go to school and shows real enthusiasm. His attitude is much better and feels a responsibility to get his homework done. He feels the daily report card has a lot to do with his new-found efforts, but most of all, he credits you all for caring about him. I want you to know how much we appreciate everything you do.
Cathy S.
I can see the recent positive change in Donnie already. Thank you for giving him a chance to excel in your program.

It is hard to believe that summer is over and school year has already started. Vanessa had a great summer, thanks to all of you. You would not believe how much she has changed and grown up in the last couple of months. The real reason for this letter is to let you know how thankful we are to you and the school and how much you have done for us. I know Vanessa wouldn't have come as far as she has come without your help and support. Thank you just isn't enough but it is the best the English language has come up with so far. Thanks again!
Carol F
Just a letter to thank you for all of the help you have given me during all the rough times in my life. You affected my life greatly when I felt there was no one else around that cared. You were always there for me. You taught me so much, like never to give up and to always believe in myself. You showed me there was so much in life waiting for me. You guided me down the rough roads in life a d reminded me that I was a good person.

Thank you for listening so often and so well to us. I am so pleased with Mike's recent choices to attend college. I wanted to share his most recent report card.
David G.
Thank you for all your help this year. Not only does my transcript look so much better, but I feel hundred times better about myself.

I just want to thanks for the very productive time Ian has spent at Accelerated Schools and a special thanks to all the staff … We will let him rest for the summer and will be getting in touch with you again, by the end of July, about fall enrollment. Thank you.

I know it has been a challenging year for all of us, but I can't thank you & your staff enough for your patience, grace, & professionalism. Please convey my personal thanks to Sam, Bonnie, Bryon, & Marco in particular. It will be interesting to see what the new school year brings for Adam & what he does with it. In the meantime, I am most grateful for our partnership, Jane. I hope the coming months are kind to you, personally and professionally.

Jane – Thank you for everything, you've helped me this summer! Thank you for helping me complete the four extra hours I had to do. I will bring all my work to you next week. I will be seeing you around and will come back to visit. I should be getting my senior pictures soon, I'll send one to you when I get them. Thanks!
