Grateful and proud

In celebration of Vietnamese Teachers’ Day, the #HomeOfTheEagles community shared heartfelt thank-you messages with their teachers – those who quietly care for, guide, support, and walk alongside our students as they grow into strong and resilient Eagles.

Celebrating 5 years of establishment – and 5 years of steadfast dedication to nurturing an educational environment built on love and leadership, PennSchool has marked its journey with many proud achievements: a growing and thriving community, outstanding academic accomplishments, and above all, a team of devoted teachers who always accompany and uplift our #HomeOfTheEagles. These teachers are the “heart” of PennSchool, continuously sharpening their expertise and preparing every lesson and activity with care to offer students the highest-quality learning experiences. Through these quiet yet meaningful contributions, our students have come to hold a truly special affection for their teachers.

On Vietnamese Teachers’ Day, Nguyen Cong Hai could not hide his emotions as he shared:

“Every day, you stand in front of the class with patience and dedication, guiding us not only through lessons but also through the challenges of growing up. You help us understand difficult concepts, encourage us when we struggle, and celebrate with us when we make progress. Even when we don’t notice it, you are always there supporting us.

I know that being a teacher is not easy. You spend long hours preparing lessons, marking assignments, and thinking of ways to help each of us improve. You listen to our worries, answer our endless questions, and remind us to be responsible and kind. You teach us knowledge, but you also teach us how to become better people. That is something we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.”

For Nguyen Ngoc Anh Sa, this occasion was also a chance to express gratitude to a very special teacher in her heart:

“I want to thank Ms. Le Thi Cam, who has accompanied me throughout my Grade 4 journey. She is always dedicated to her students. I still remember the time she helped me write an essay about honesty and kindness. That day, she sat with me through the entire recess, patiently correcting each sentence so my writing would be clearer. From that moment, I realized that with just a little more effort, I truly could do better.”

Through this November eNewsletter – the month of gratitude – the PennSchool community, especially the #HomeOfTheEagles, wishes to send our deep appreciation to all teachers working at PennSchool. As Nguyen Cong Hai shared: “Thank you for believing in us even when we doubt ourselves. Thank you for giving us chances to try again when we fail. Thank you for pushing us to grow, for expecting more from us, and for helping us realize our own potential. Your dedication helps shape who we are today and who we will become in the future. We may not always show it, but we truly appreciate everything you do. I hope all our teachers feel honored, respected, and happy today.”
