Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for such an incredible year at Fortis Academy. I can't believe it's been one full school year, but here we are. Time is like that. I'm so grateful to God that He let me spend this year with your child in the classroom, and it was such an incredible joy to be apart of their lives. Many words come to mind when I think of this particular group of kids, but the ones that come to my mind the most, are bright, funny, loving, and grounded.
I pray that each of your children will continue to, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and all your strength." (Mark 12:30)
Please keep me updated often as to how your child is doing and let me know if there is anything I can ever do to support your child in any way. Have a wonderful, amazing summer, and thank you so much again for being such a wonderful group of parents this year and for blessing me with the presence of your child! Each of them is truly unforgettable, and I have so many memories to treasure for a lifetime.
Grateful to God!
Mrs. Poncy
