Much gratitude to all of you teachers at Orsch. I’m amazed you are able to keep the tuition so affordable in exchange for the priceless education and memorable lifetime experience you are providing for my daughter and all of the students at Orsch. You have all been instrumental in making life changes for Sophie and for all of her family and we will always remember you for that.

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

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.

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.

Today Orion found his math papers and told me, “this is hard, but at least you can have lots of help and other kids can help explain it and everyone actually works with you to try and help you learn it, not just write it for you and say see that’s how you do it.” He is no where near the frustration level as he was before at the PS. I think that he knows its hard, but getting all the good help he has been getting, and the support, he will figure this out!!! Thanks, its so nice to not see him in tears when he is talking about math !!!
