Dear Mrs Epsom,
We are writing to update you on the progress of our son Aniket, & also to express our sincere gratitude to the role Greengates has played in Aniket's development.
Aniket has settled in very well at Peponi House School. Indeed, he is excelling at both his academics & extra-curricular activities at the School, as well making a good friend circle within.
We are therefore grateful to Greengates for the excellent foundation which Aniket has carried forward with him. We believe it is this foundation which has enabled him to start on a great note at Peponi House, & we are confident that this will hold him in good stead going forward in his future academics. We now believe that Greengates has no comparison especially in terms of the academic foundation, & credit goes to you for maintaining such high standards over the years.
Once again we thank you very much, & take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
With fond regards
Mina & Dilpun Shah
Dear Mrs Epsom,
Subject: Esinam Gadese-Mensah

We appreciate the valuable education that Esinam has received and as a result, we are confident that she has been provided an excellent foundation that will be important in her school life.
As a family we have enjoyed being part of the Greengates community. We especially commend the teachers for the care and dedication that they always showed the children. We appreciate also the personal attention that you gave Esinam in monitoring her behaviour when she was new and later in her academic progress.

May God Bless You, the Wonderful Teachers and Greengates Kindergarten.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Epsom,
Our time as parents at Greengates is coming to an end. Five years of swimming galas, meetings with teachers, dropping and picking, and games designed to keep the fathers humble on Sports Day, are over and we are saying goodbye. Not by choice, but because you have done such a good job with the boys. They are now moving on.
The purpose of this letter is to say thank you for doing such a great job. The boys have really enjoyed their time here. They leave with happy memories and an enjoyment of learning -and there is no better foundation for their future. You have instilled in them a sense of self-worth, a confidence with which to approach new tasks, a curiosity and a sense of adventure about learning.
To all the teachers who have had them in their classes over the last five years, we would like to say thank you. Your commitment and hard work is much appreciated. The joy with which you approach teaching is clear in the joy with which the children receive it.
All the other members of staff involved in running the school have also made a real difference. The boys have felt safe and cared for.
We wish you the best in caring for future students.
With thanks and best wishes
Aileen Lyon and Allan Duncan Parents to Findlav and Cameron

Dear Mrs Epsom,
Today is Kato's last day at Greengates Kindergarten. As you will remember, Kato joined Greengates in Apri12005, a nervous little boy, who was not eager to be at school. The influence of Greengates in Kato is to be seen to day. He is playful, confident and looking forward to coming to school every morning.
We as Kato's parents can only express our gratitude to you, Mrs Epsom, for admitting him to Greengates, and to the teachers and staff at the school for working with Kato to get him where he is today.
We know that Kato is leaving friends behind, but he will always have fond memories of Greengates.

Dear Mrs Epsom ,
Would like to inform you that Anokhi will be joining the Banda School from September 2007.
We are extremely grateful to the entire staff of Greengates for instilling an excellent and profound foundation in terms of Anokhi's education. Never was there a day that we regretted sending Anokhi to such an esteemed institution as Greengates.
She will surely miss her teachers and more importantly, she will always think of Mrs. Epsom, who has taken a particular and keen interest in transfonning Anokhi into a "young lady".
Once again we are most indebted to you.

Dear Mrs Epsom, Teachers and Staff,
This letter is to confirm that Pierre Habimana will be leaving Greengates at the end of this term. He will be moving on to Year 2 at Aga Khan Academy in September 2007. We wish to express our appreciation for the excellent work that Greengates has done in giving Pierre a solid foundation for his education.
It is said that the best gift you can give to your child is an education. We are glad that you are part of this gift. We often think back to the moments when we first brought our little toddler, Pierre to Greengates. Like every parent, we were anxious to see that our child received the best education that we could find. We were filled with hopes and dreams that our little one would learn to not only read, write and express himself, but also to do these things well.
We are delighted and thankful that Greengates has set the pace in fulfilling these hopes and dreams. We hope that we shall have the opportunity to meet again in the future. In the meantime, keep up the good work you are doing with the children. God Bless you all!
Sincerely,
Mr & Mrs Habimana
Nairobi, Kenya.
