Jackie,

We applaud you and Orsch every day. Thank you for accepting Anna and all the others into the program who need it. Where would we/she have been if you had limited last year’s class to 25 students (I think Anna was the 26th), or had said that you didn’t want to disrupt the group by adding her in April? She is a changed child and we feel like the luckiest parents in the world to have been able to enroll her in your big-hearted program when we did. We would NEVER be the parents to say that the next family who desperately needs Orsch, like we did, should be turned away.

Love,

Cara

I am working off an old flash drive and just found a bunch of my stuff from my last semester of college… when I started working with Orsch. I found my first lesson plan ever, my thesis (inspired by my work at Orsch), and an action plan for becoming a teacher. I did it!!!!

Thanks for taking a chance on me and taking the time to inspire me. I love my job!

Proud and honored to be a part of your dream. I hope you know that you don’t see my face in there, not because I am disinterested or dissatisfied, but rather that I have complete faith and trust in what you are doing with my children and feel such confidence in your decision making, that I just don’t need to hover about. Plus as you mentioned we are hearing all about it daily….sometimes in sooo much detail. With Thanksgiving approaching let me say that we are grateful for you, your team, and your vision….and that we have a gift in being part of all the orschy magic. 🙂 Sleep well at night knowing the difference you make!…let it also be said, I have a reputation for being hard to please and not afraid to let it be known. I am oh so very pleased!! Couldn’t be happier…really! So if your weren’t hitting the mark…you would know. LOL

Jackie,

I know Kellie already expressed both of our feelings, but I just wanted to shoot you a quick email to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wanted to say so in person this afternoon, but I had to run off to a meeting. You have (unsurprisingly) created a loving, caring environment in which to provide a top notch education to your students, and my daughter. In the short time she has been at your school, I have seen her spririt, confidence, and yes, sass, come back, and it brings me a great deal of happiness, and relief; my only regret is that we did not make this decision at the beginning of the school year. Better late than never I guess. Thank you Jackie.

Best,

Marcus

P.S. I was really impressed with Ms. Elizabeth too.

You go, girl! It looks good! I like it! Erin talked a lot yesterday about self-expression and Orsch seems to be strong on that aspect. I love your freedoms and experiences. Somehow though you’ve motivated kids so that they choose to do academics! you’ve found a way to have kids work hard because they know they will get some fun times as well. You have helped kids strive towards their potential. Don Juan (in Casteneda books) always talked of being “impeccable,” doing your best at all times. I think that is what Orsch has helped kids figure out. My best some days is to spend hours on a topic, and other days my best is to have some down time to relax the brain.
Good to see you yesterday! You’re so cute – even on your bike. I love this town.
