Pittsfield Young Fives ready to celebrate Thanksgiving

Dear AAPS Community,

As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I share my deepest gratitude for our students, teachers, staff, school leaders, and families. Because of you, the Ann Arbor Public Schools continues to serve students with care, deep commitment, and strong support across our community. We are stronger together, and I am beyond thankful to be working together on behalf of our talented, incredible students. 

We are grateful for every student we serve and the energy, inspiration, talents, and joy they bring to us all. 

We are grateful to our dedicated families, community partners, and the broader Ann Arbor community for their support of our students and the focus placed on education.

We are grateful for our hardworking teachers, support staff, school leaders, and district leaders. Your deep commitment to our students and their success makes a positive difference every day.  Student success is a team effort; there is no better team than the Ann Arbor Public Schools team. 

As you prepare to unplug for the next few days, we hope you enjoy this video of students at Bryant Elementary School sharing what they are thankful for this year.

With deep appreciation and gratitude, I extend my best wishes for a happy and safe Thanksgiving Break.

Sincerely,

Jazz Parks
Interim Superintendent 
Ann Arbor Public Schools
