Hogg's Hollow Parent Letters

Dearest Rose,

Each year I mean to write you a letter, thanking you for all your hard work you did with Andrea. I believe Andrea is where she is today because of her great education at Hogg"s Hollow... she loves going to school. She yearns to learn more and more each day."

"Hogg"s Hollow not only gave her a wonderful foundation to her education, but it gave her fond memories. Today, 3 years since graduating, she continues talking about her fun times with you. You not only encouraged and provided a great learning facility, you also made them learn, most of the time without the children even being aware that they were learning because they were having so much fun in the process.

Today Andi is also taking courses at (our church). She herself reached for this... I truly believe she loves to learn because you made learning so fun.

Enclosed I send you a copy of her California Standardized Testing Report. I know testing doesnít always show your true colors, but we are very proud of Andiís accomplishments.

Sincerely,

Celeste Romero

Dear Rose and Staff,

Thank you so much for inviting me to the children's graduation. I just loved seeing the kids perform and the proudness they feel as they graduate and receive awards.

Your school is exceptional and each time I come to visit and see you working with the children. . . .

I see that you instill something in them that really helps them to believe in themselves and have confidence in themselves and helps them to want to accept and go on to the next step in this life. You are all wonderful teachers!!

Love to you all--have a good summer!

Dear Rose,

We would like you to know how much we appreciate everything you have done for Sarah this year. Eighty percent of a child's personality and way of thinking is completely formed by the age of eight. When I had to return to work after four years, I searched every possible preschool placement for Sarah. I was devastated that I was going to have to give my impressionable daughter to someone else to mold. I visited your school three times before I felt comfortable to let her stay with you. I was very impressed with your philosophy of education and with the way you treated the children with respect. I saw many similarities between your way of thinking and mine.

We definitely made the right choice to send Sarah to Hogg's Hollow. She loves going to school, her love of learning is as strong as ever, and her sense of pride and accomplishment are tangible.

We will always be thankful for the impact you have made on our daughter's personality. Sarah used to have difficulty expressing her feelings with friends and with people she loved outside of the family, but this has now changed. We know she loves you, and I am sure she has expressed that to you. Thank you so very much. We hope you will continue to be able to positively impact the lives and personalities of children for years to come.

Sincerely,

Lisa and Fariborz
