November 26, 2019 - Happy Thanksgiving
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we have much for which to be grateful in the Ann Arbor Public Schools.
Our gratitude list begins with our 18,000 beautiful children; we are most grateful for each and every child and the opportunity to serve and support their learning and growth each day at school. The light in their eyes, and the energy and curiosity they bring to learning give us all joy and hope for the future. Thank you, parents, for sharing your amazing children with us.
We are grateful for our teachers, support staff and leaders of the Ann Arbor Public Schools who serve as deeply committed and caring professionals, dedicating their careers in service to our children. AAPS team members are the reason that our school district is rated highly and, more importantly, that our children discover, grow and succeed at school each day.
We are grateful for our highly engaged and supportive parents and our Ann Arbor community members whose participation makes us a stronger, more connected AAPS school community. Quality public schools are an outcome of positive, engaged and caring communities. The success of our high-performing Ann Arbor Public Schools reflects the success of our vibrant Ann Arbor community.
The Ann Arbor Public Schools are proud to serve as warm and welcoming schools where all individuals are embraced and celebrated. This isn’t just what we do in Ann Arbor, it is who we are.
Thank you for your support of our children and the Ann Arbor Public Schools; I wish you and yours a safe, warm and restful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Jeanice Kerr Swift
