“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to each and every one of you! You are all putting time, energy, physical and emotional labor into all of this and it’s paying off. We have a lot of things still to learn but we are doing it quickly. The kids are having a good time outside, even on the wetter days. ”

“Annette, I can not say enough how AMAZING you are and how glad we are to be part of this community. All is going better than we could ever have anticipated, and it’s all thanks to the countless hours you have put in. [My child] is bursting with gratitude every day to go to “real” school, and not be staring at a screen for 6 hours a day. In awe and gratitude,”

“When Alicia and I came up with this wild idea years ago while sitting in her driveway after a preschool board meeting, neither of us ever envisioned this . . . so many of us, working SO hard, all so that our kids can have a really amazing school year this year. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. I left this Friday tired, but so happy. This really is something beautiful that we are a part of. ”
— Ms. Annette
“I also want to echo these sentiments and give a big shout out and THANK YOU to Annette and Alicia for making it all happen! We are so so grateful to be a part of the SOCS community, so thankful that these kiddos are able to have an in-person, albeit unique school experience this year, and are so, so thankful for all the work that went into making it happen. [My child] came home on the first day saying it was, “AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.” Here’s to a great second week.”

“We are so appreciative of everyone - teachers, parents, co-opers, and last but not least, enormously grateful to Alicia and Annette for your vision, dedication, and perserverence. I know that many people are struggling right now with online school, work/home balance, finding childcare, and more. We know how fortunate we are, and it is only possible because of our community coming together to make it happen for our kids. Thank you all. ”
