Dear Families:

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving in the company of family & friends. I wanted to express my gratitude for the support that you continuously show for our children and all members of our school community.

P.S. 39 is truly privileged to have such a strong and nurturing partnership with its families. Together we are providing a rich and stimulating learning environment for our students.

As I give thanks for my own family this Thanks giving, I will also voice my thanks for the exceptional second family that I have here at P.S. 39.

I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,

Anita de Paz
