Dear Family
and Friends,
Geoffrey will be graduating from
One of the
most significant events of his senior year will be a senior retreat. As part of
the retreat the parents are asked to write letters to their graduating senior.
The school has also asked us to extend this letter writing opportunity to any
extended family and friends who have played a significant role in Geoffrey‘s life up to this point.
These
letters will be given to the seniors during the senior retreat in March; they
will have private quite time to read all the letters they receive. This is the
most impactful and meaningful time of the entire
retreat. These letters are supposed to be kept a secret from the seniors.
Although it is an 8 year tradition at Oaks, we still want to do our best to
keep it a surprise.
It would
mean a great deal to our family and even more to Geoffrey, if everyone
receiving this email would participate in this process.
The letters
can be about whatever you want. Let me give you a few suggestions to help get
you started.
Please
don’t try to cover all of the above in your letter. Just pick out what is
important to you and what you think would be meaningful to Geoffrey. Geoffrey
will value your letter simply because you took time to write it to him.
Now the deadline part. You can email your letter to me and
I will put it in a sealed envelope for you. Or, you can mail it to me and I
will be sure it gets to the school.
We must
have the letters in our hands no later than February 18th. If you are going to mail your letter, please plan
accordingly.
Our home address is:
If you have
questions, please feel free to call me anytime on my call at 805 914 8174.
We love all
of you and feel so grateful and blessed for the love and support you have shown
us and Geoffrey over the last 17 years.
Thank you,
Laurie and
Steve
