What People Are Saying

Buddleia’s $1200 gift is helping our students experience the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Field experiences like this deepen student learning by bringing science concepts to life and encouraging curiosity, questioning, and academic conversations between students and their families. By making it possible for more parents to participate, this donation also supports our School Improvement Plan of strengthening family engagement in ways that directly support student learning. —Wendy Olaitan, JoAnn Leleck ES

Dear Jeremy and Dushanti,

Thank you for your continued partnership with JoAnn Leleck Elementary School at Broad Acres. Your collaboration this year has had a tremendous and meaningful impact on our students and school community.

Through your support, our students benefited from strengthened academic and social-emotional learning opportunities that are essential to their growth and success. These supports help ensure that students feel safe, valued, and ready to learn, which directly contributes to positive outcomes both in and beyond the classroom. In addition, your efforts to help meet basic needs have removed barriers to learning and allowed our students to focus on their education with confidence and dignity.

We truly appreciate your group’s willingness to collaborate, communicate, and work alongside our staff in service of our students. Strong partnerships like yours are vital to creating a supportive and thriving school community.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. We look forward to reconnecting in 2026 as we continue our shared commitment and make an even greater effort to build upon the important work we have begun together.

With sincere appreciation,

Kristen Reza

Principal Intern
