I arrived to work this morning to find a letter from NBC12 sitting in my school mailbox. Enclosed in the envelope was the best gift (even beating the Star Wars coffee mug) I have ever received from a student or parent or colleague (I don't know which). It warmed my heart and made me feel good about the work that I do. Thank you, anonymous nominator. Below is the text of the letter:
