To the Principal and Staff,

I would like to thank you and your staff for the quality education and personal help my daughters received from all of you this year. I would like to personally thank each one of you, and I want to say you've been a special blessing in our lives.

Dear Principal Rickard and Staff,

I would like you to know how thankful I am to you, Ms. Rickard, Mr. Jim Sienkiewicy, Mr. Frank, Mr. Benson, Janine (receptionist), and the rest of the truely great staff. Noah is starting to like to go to school, he talks about school and he has settled down. It is amazing to me how the attitude and the spirit of a school can change so many lives. Please feel free to pass my phone number on to any doubtful parent. I feel that Sierra Vista is a good role model for others schools to follow, your school is truly exceptional, a sure fire "10". Keep up the good work and remember you have changed three people's lives to the positive side and surely changed the student from dropping out and becoming another kid on the streets.

Dear Ms. Rickard,

I am writing this letter to you to inform you that I am very impressed with your school, Sierra Vista Academy. My two boys are happy to be attending your school. I am impressed that the test scores have been improving every year. The teachers are very helpful and willing to work with the students in achieving their goals. I am glad that the school is open to students that choose to attend that are looking for a smaller setting. Your staff really pays attention to the students and their needs. That is something all schools should strive for. Thank you for your time.

Greetings Mr. Sienkiewicz,

I wish to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate you and the staff at Sierra Vista Academy. My son enrolled as a freshman in October 2006. Initially, we had concerns due to many factors which exist at Sierra Vista, however, we are elated that our assumptions were very much incorrect. At the time my son began his studies at Sierra Vista, his grades were below average however over the last few months his grades have significantly improved because of the dedication of the Sierra Vista Staff. You not only "talk the talk...you walk the walk." This speaks volumes and is so very important to our family. The school has fulfilled these commitments to the level my son's grades have improved tremendously....prior to becoming a Sierra Vista student is was not on the honor roll, now he is because of the attention and concern the staff exhibits in support of his success. I want to offer my sincerest appreciation to you for a job well done.
