Farewell Letter To Orchard | Mike Brown - 41 Years
Orchard,
In so many ways it is going to be difficult to leave Orchard and move on to a new chapter in my life. This has been such a huge part of me for 41 incredible years. Orchard has changed tremendously in that time, but in what matters most, it has remained the same wonderful place of child-centered education and a community of warm, caring people. I will miss the kids, I will miss my team, and I will miss the friends and teachers who have been so important in my life.
I will take with me many great Orchard memories: of teaching and coaching, of watching my kids go to school here, and of meeting and marrying my best friend Deb during my time here. Most of all, I will take with me the memories of good times, many laughs, and the experience of working together in helping kids to be successful students and strong young men and women.
Saying thanks seems to be all that I have left. I think I have given everything else. Thank you, Orchard.
Fondly and Forever,
