Dear Ocean Teachers and Staff,
Thank you for your many years of dedication to generations of children, families and our community. I believe every parent wants the best learning environment for their child. Together you’ve created a fun, creative supportive learning community for us all!
As a Native American parent it is a cultural value of mine that all children are our children. Each child should be cared for as part of our own family. This is the feeling my family experiences here at Ocean Alternative. I often refer to you lovingly as the “aunties” because that is the term we use in our extended families, we have many aunties and uncles in our culture.
Through the years I’ve had the pleasure of knowing some of the Ocean staff more intimately and others only in passing. I have two children that have attended Ocean. Isaac 21 and Ali 5. I’ve had the extreme pleasure to watch Ocean grow and evolve over the years but there is one thing that remains consistent. The staff has always had the utmost respect and honor for each individual child and family. It amazes me how you are able to take so many individual personalities, temperaments and parenting styles and blend us all together and provide the best learning environment ever! I am truly inspired at your awesomeness, creativity and ability to make learning so much fun. I find myself recalling my education experiences and often wish I had a school like Ocean when I was growing up. I am excited to attend school with my child, anticipating what wonderful creative experiences you will amaze us with that day!
So dear Ocean Family today and everyday may you be blessed and know deep in your heart that you are loved by my family and many families. Your love, dedication, patience and caring shine through in all you do!
Love,
Lynette, Isaac and Ali Rose
