Dear Thomas,

One of the most exciting school wide activities which took place last year at Kahalu'u School was the creation of our beautiful mural which truly captured the heart and soul of our students and community and the commitment we have to build a strong base of literacy skills which will serve our children well into the future.

The mural illustrates that books and literature enhance the life of our school community and brings the world to our doorstep. Since its completion last spring, the mural has become a focal point of school pride and accomplishment. Every child can point to a portion of the mural knowing he/she had a part in bringing it to life.

I wish to thank you; Thomas, Lynn and John, for helping us bring our vision for this mural to reality. The children and teachers truly enjoyed working with you and in the process, you established a very caring relationship with other role groups at the school.

Thank you for your expertise and sharing your artistic gifts with us.

Yours truly,
