Subject: Thanks for making me a great student...

Hello everyone there at Children's Workshop. This is Ryan. I just want to let you know that thanks to your school, teachers, and nice learning environment I have become a great student since Children's Workshop. I am in a lot of extra-curricular activities, for example this year I was in an accomplished Region Choir and won a medal, Solo and Ensemble first place for choir. In DI (Destination Imagination) our team won at region level and went to state. I am Vice President of the Student Council and next year will be President, I am in the School Leadership Club, I am in Crimestoppers, and as of this year I will be a Peer Mediator at the school since I have completed my training. Also I am in NJHS (National Junior Honor Society), and I credit all of that to my years at Children's Workshop. I would just like to say that your school was a great thing that happened to me. No matter how far I make it in life I think a lot of it was because my elementary school was better. You truly do provide an environment where love and learning flourish.

Sincerely a great fan of your school,

Ryan Swindell (former student)
