Our Kindergarten Teachers

On August 13 of 1786 Thomas Jefferson wrote this to George Wythe:

‘I  think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be devised, for the preservation of freedom and happiness. . . Preach, my dear Sir, a crusade against ignorance; establish & improve the law for educating the common people. Let our countrymen know that the people alone can protect us against these evils (tyranny, oppression, etc.) and that the tax which will be paid for this purpose is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.’

This is exactly what you have done. You have laid the foundation of Happiness and Freedom for my daughter and so many other kids before and for that I am endlessly thankful to the both of you.

I am so grateful for the work you guys do each and every day. Every morning my daughter work up excited to go to school and always striving to do better. Not one day went by where had to worry about my child because I knew that you guys had it handled. The thing I am most thankful for is that you guys are like family and I really appreciate the love you shared with [my daughter] each and every day.

You guys are absolutely incredible beings-thank you for all that you did for my daughter and all you will accomplish going forward.
