In fact, your response is always something like, “Is there anything else you need?” or “We’ll take care of it”—and you always do, with a smile and the most positive attitude.

Our family is so grateful for everything you do. The school simply wouldn’t function without you and your incredible team. Thank you for being the heart, hustle, and strength behind it all! -The Pugas

You may not realize just how much of a difference you make, but we see it—and we’re so incredibly grateful.

There have been so many days our daughter has come home frustrated, struggling to make sense of her math lessons. But whenever you step in to help, something just clicks. She goes from discouraged to confident, from confused to capable. You haven’t lost your touch—not one bit.

It’s truly a blessing to have you in her life. Your patience, your clarity, and your calm presence remind me so much of the support you gave me back in junior high. Some things never change, and that’s a beautiful thing.

From riding the bench to becoming team captain my senior year. Thanks, Coach.

He has a lot of patience for his students, especially since I know that I could get him annoyed sometimes when I play around sometimes in class. But still, he's one of the best teachers you can have. Chilliest guy I’ve ever known. 💯

Thank you for taking care of thousands of kiddos—and doing it all with style, grace, and a sense of humor! You deserves a medal! It’s always a joy to see you when I’m swinging by to pay yet another fine or fund yet another one of our daughter’s “must-haves.”

Let’s be honest—without your magical powers of organization, patience, and financial wizardry, the entire school budget would probably collapse into chaos. You keep the ship afloat, the receipts in order, and somehow still manage to smile through it all.

We appreciate you more than you know—and your superpowers definitely don’t go unnoticed! -The Pugas
