School Supply Thank you!
My name is Juan Quiñonez, and I am the school social worker at Forest Hills Elementary in Eden Prairie. I wanted to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to you, your organization, and everyone cc'd in this email. Please forgive me if I’ve missed anyone. Returning to school and seeing such an amazing gesture for our students and families was truly moving. Your donation and support mean so much, and I know it will make a significant difference for many families in our district. If you’re interested in continuing this amazing work and possibly extending it to other schools in our district, I’m cc’ing Reta Johnson, our Family Resources Coordinator and Homeless & Foster Care Liaison. Reta has tirelessly organized our back-to-school supply drive for every school in the district over the years. Again, thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to all of us. Thank you/Gracias, Juan C. Quiñonez, LSW School Social Worker Inspiring Each Student Every Day Forest Hills Elementary 13708 Holly Road Eden Prairie, MN 55346
