Dear Ms. Quashnock, Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all that you do for the choir. Participating in choir is truly the highlight of my week, and that is entirely due to your passion, dedication, and guidance. Thank you for pushing us to be the best musicians we can be, even when we have tricky harmonies to learn. You have created such a welcoming and safe space for us to find our voices and grow in confidence. I have learned so much about music—and about myself—under your direction. Thank you for making choir feel like a second family and for your tireless energy in preparing us for our concerts. I feel so lucky to be your student! Sincerely, Yvette
