Hi Montco Staff!

I wanted to send a note of thanks on this special day. My son Joey has been attending Friendship Academy at Easterseals Montgomery County for two wonderful years and had his last day just a couple weeks ago. He gets very nervous with new people, places, and things, but school soon became his favorite place to be! Not only were his teachers phenomenal, but all the staff there including other education staff, child care staff, therapists, and even Mr. Steve (on all our late days!) all also made him feel as special and loved as he is to me. There is no better feeling as a parent. He was so sad to leave and even shed a few tears leaving the parking lot on his final day.

As sad as it was/is for both of us, I knew putting him on the bus this morning for Kindergarten he was READY! He was nervous, but smiling.  And I know he has the skills to really make it in Kindergarten thanks to all of YOU 🙂

Hope this note and pictures brighten your day! Just know all your hard work really does pay off – you all make differences in the lives of kids and parents every day.
