Tom Thumb to Sacred Heart University
Meet Amanda, a Tom Thumb Student
Here is a note from Amanda, in which she thanks Tom Thumb for the wonderful times of dance and learning, and she says Tom Thumb will always remain special to her that taught her about dance. This post includes a picture of Amanda as a Tom Thumb student and another as a high school graduate.
Amanda’s note illustrates Tom Thumb’s Philosophy from day one when we opened our doors as a private preschool, “It is the responsibility of this generation to pass on to the next those things which it has found to be of value. We are dedicated to improving the next generation of great Americans.”
Amanda’s Note
Dear Tom Thumb,
I would like to thank you very much for the support and generosity you’ve given me through Dance for Joy! This award helped encourage
me to continue on dancing at Sacred Heart University, I would also like to thank you for all of the wonderful times I’ve had at Tom Thumb, both dancing and learning. Tom Thumb will always be special to me as it was the place that taught me about dance!
With Love,
Amanda J

Thank You Letter from Scholarship Recipient
As you may remember, we received a letter from Walter Panas High School Principal, Joseph M. Spero, thanking Nancy Brophy for the Scholarship given to a senior during the Senior Awards Ceremony. Nancy Brophy instituted the Tom Thumb Memorial Scholarship to honor her grandson Zachary Brophy’s memory. This Scholarship focuses on our philosophy: “It is the responsibility of this generation to pass on to the next those things which it has found to be of value.”
We received a thank you letter from the Panas High School mother of a student awarded the Tom Thumb Memorial Scholarship. This is great because the student Anna D, who won the Scholarship, has long-standing aspirations to become a teacher. Anna’s pursuit of education perfectly aligns with our philosophy, as stated above. After Anna graduates from Penn State, she will contribute to Tom Thumb’s overarching mission of developing individuals to their full potential. Anna will fulfill Tom Thumb’s philosophy as a teacher to improve the next generation of great Americans.
Anna D is the Panas High School Senior who won the Scholarship.
The following is the Thank You Letter from Anna’s mother, Melanie:

Dear Ms. Brophy,
My daughter Anna D was the Walter Panas High School recipient of the
Tom Thumb Memorial Scholarship Award in honor of Zachary Brophy for 2024
year. | sincerely thank you, and feel honored that you selected my daughter for this
award.
During her four years at Walter Panas, she has worked at Club Fit summer
camp, Pizzazzies and did a six month student teaching internship at Lincoln Titus
Elementary School. Anna has wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember,
and she is now enrolled in Penn State University in the School of Education. She will
undoubtedly honor your mission, and Zachary, with the help of your scholarship, her
determination and her natural affinity toward education.
Thank you for offering this scholarship and directly helping students in our community.
Sincerely,
Melanie D
