Year-End Reflections: From Board President Irma Paz-Bernstein

As we walk around the sun to mark the end of the school year, we celebrate all that has been accomplished and all those who made it possible to reach our goals and meet our challenges with a mindful heart.

This year we honored the past with an open house for alumni and families. It was a day of celebration and gratitude -- and a joy to witness.

I would like to thank:

• The Board of Trustees. It was an honor to serve this community with you. 
• The faculty that walked with our children through it all.
• Sherry Knott for 25 years of observation and action.
• And the staff that works behind the scenes to make it all come together.

To all of those who will leave the nest that is Abintra, know that because of you our roots are deeper. And to those that will come back to walk hand in hand with us next year, we can't wait to welcome you back; there is so much already being set in place for you.

All that we accomplished was thanks to you and because of you. You made it possible for us to reach our goals and for future families to enjoy this land that we call ABINTRA.

The roots are deeper and so is my gratitude,

Irma
