Dear Jaida, you have one of those special teachers that everyone wishes they could have just once. After the Newtown, CT school shooting Mr. Greenalgh sent home a letter. This is what he wrote:
Dear Parents,
As the events of the last week have unfolded, our hearts have been saddened by the tragic events that took place in a town that is very similar to ours. It is unimaginable, the grief and broken hearts that Newtown is facing at the present time. As a school, I hope you understand that we, as a school and a district, will do all that is possible to try and secure the safety of your precious sons and daughters. Spending 6 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week with them cultivates a close bond that is very similar to our own children at home. Please rest assuredly that our staff will do everything possible to protect them from harm. We thank you for trusting them in our care. It is a privilege to teach your kids and build positive relationships. The rewards to us are immeasurable, and the joy that they bring to us are life enduring. May this Christmas be special to you and your family.
Steve Greenalgh
