A
FATHER GIVES THANKS
Dear Mrs. Bishop,
My name is Gilbert De La Rosa IV and my son (Gilbert V)
attends [PCI Head Start at] Sun
Valley Elementary. I am writing to thank you all for
the work your
program and Sun Valley do.
I currently work in the Middle East and
subsequently have to spend months away from home at a time;
consequently
I come home to new things when I take a vacation. I recently
spent 8
months abroad and upon arriving home in January I was amazed
at my son.
I talk with him daily on the telephone but that did not
prepare me for
being with him in person. I can truly say his curiosity
is in full bloom
and he can express himself completely. Every day at home
I witnessed a
new aspect of what he is learning, whether it be writing,
reading,
drawing, computer usage etc. His vocabulary has also increased
dramatically. As for Sun Valley ,
I visited the school as often as I
could while at home and was very impressed with the facilities
and what
I saw and heard from the staff. My daughter (Gabriella)
is a first
grader at Sun Valley and
she is blossoming with every year spent there.
Parents, more so fathers I think, like to believe that
their children
are "a chip off the old block" however the tools and
services you both
provide are what really fine tunes them. Again thank you
for your
efforts, for making school enjoyable for our two kiddos,
and providing
an opportunity for parents to be involved. My wife (Diana) often
volunteers at Sun Valley and
from what I hear, it is very fulfilling.
Thank you, Gib.
Great Opportunities for Parents!
