To the editor:

Hard to believe yet another school year is about to end. It was certainly interesting to say the least.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be more low points than high. How does the saying go? Every dark cloud has a silver lining? When the Board of Education decreed that Hamilton Avenue School students be scattered among six other schools in town as a result of the closure of the temporary modulars, our son was relocated to Glenville Elementary School.

To the Glenville School community: You all have been our silver lining, and we extend our sincerest thanks for your kindness and generosity during the last four months. You welcomed the Hamilton Avenue kindergarten families and took us in as your own, and did an outstanding job in trying to make the best experience out of a very difficult situation....

...quick and safe turnaround in the construction of the new Glenville facility. Our best wishes for your children's' happiness and continued quality education in your new home.

As a community, you should take great pride in all the faculty and staff at Glenville.

We look forward to the opportunity of celebrating with you at the opening of the new facility, and hope that you will join us in our celebration at the new Hamilton Avenue School. As far as my wife, Marie, and I are concerned, "thank you" will never be enough for all you've done.
