To the incredible Peter Hobart Community,


As I prepare to leave, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. This school community has been like a second family to me; it has been a place of growth, learning, and connection. The memories we have created together will always hold a special place in my heart. Though I am stepping away, I am confident that this school will continue to thrive and excel. The strength of this community lies in its unity and shared commitment to excellence. I believe in each of you and the bright future that lies ahead for this school. Thank you for the incredible journey. I will carry the lessons and experiences from my time here with me always. Wishing you all continued success and happiness. 



Warmest regards, 

Kari
