As we come out of this Thanksgiving season, my heart is filled with gratitude for the beautiful gift of family, both the ones we are born into and the ones God builds around us. Scripture reminds us, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God” (1 John 3:1). What a comfort to know that we are part of His family first, held together by His unfailing love. This time of the year always reminds me of the people God has intentionally placed in my life. Each person, whether a relative, a friend, or a member of our Sonrise community, has shaped me, encouraged me, and helped me grow in unique and meaningful ways. I am truly grateful for the connections He has woven together in this season and in past seasons.
At Sonrise, we are more than a school; we are a community of believers walking alongside one another. As a staff member, I want to thank you for allowing us to partner withyour families, tp love your children, and to grow together in faith and purpose. As a parent, I want to thank every parent, staff member, and family who have loved on my little monsters and shown them God's love.
May God continue to surround you with His peace, His joy, and the warmth of the family, both by blood and by His beautiful design.
With gratitude, Ms. Val
