Kindness matters and today, it meant the world to us.

A huge thank you to the teachers at Van Allen Elementary for emphasizing the importance of kindness and encouraging their students to share it in meaningful ways. We were so touched to receive this handwritten letter recognizing our team.

To the thoughtful student who took the time to write this — thank you. Your words truly brightened our day and reminded us why we do what we do.💙

(Note: The student’s last name has been redacted to protect their privacy, but we chose to leave their first name so their family can share in the joy that this letter brought.)
