[Northkeep] Gratitude

[Gisela]

It is people like you who make it the way it is. Even though it was not your
fault that my daughter's name was on your list of winners, you gave her a
grand prize, anyway, so she wouldn't feel bad about giving back the prize
she thought she won. You gave her so much more than you needed to and for
that, you are a kind and generous person. That you pointed out that you were
happy she joined the activities, even though it wasn't much, made me happy
to know you care about each individual child, including mine. Union Schools
and the children that attend it are lucky to have you as a teacher and we
are so very lucky as well that you choose to spend your extremely valuable
time (as I know your job doesn't end when the bell rings) enriching the
lives of OUR children and making Northkeep an even better community.

To you, LADY Yrmentrude, VIVAT!
