It is with a heavy heart that I write this to inform you, this will be Elisiana’s last week at Tom Thumb. I had visions of her graduating Tom Thumb just as I did many years ago.
….
Even though Elisiana has only been with you for a short time, I can see how much she has grown intellectually and socially. We will miss this school very much but hope to move back to New York just in time for my younger son to attend Tom Thumb.
Thank you for your amazing program and for the happily distracting my daughter during these past few rough months away from her Dad.
Thank you for all that you do. We are so grateful for Abigail ‘s first school experience at ThumBelina. Abigail adores her teachers and new friends. We are truly grateful for this amazing place!
Cullen Malzo, a 2001 graduate of Tom Thumb, is nothing short of a hero. After two teenage girls from Mahopac were involved in a car accident on Thursday, November 10, 2016, Cullen sprung into action. The accident left them trapped in their car, upside down in Lake Mahopac.
Cullen to the Rescue
Police said that 19-year-old Cullen Malzo was nearby when he heard the crash. He dialed 911 and ran to the scene. Without hesitation, Cullen ran into the murky water and quickly pulled the girls out of an open window. Thankfully, the girls only suffered minor injuries.
We Salute Cullen Our Local Hero
Cullen Malzo is just that kind of person; compassionate, confident and fearless. From a very young age, Cullen has exhibited these characteristics and his actions are nothing less than heroic. Our community is very proud of him. We all have such confidence and pride in our Next Generation of Great Americans, where Cullen Malzo is a remarkable example.
I wanted to just take the time to say thank you so much for the wonderful summer you gave to our daughter Alejandra. Nancy, although we could not afford at the moment to take Ali out of her current daycare to move her to you for the fall, you were nice enough to allow her to come just for the summer to give her a change of pace.
Ali loved camp so much, and I was so impressed with the caliber of the counselors I met.
The fact that you were willing to reimburse us for the days my daughter stayed home with my inlaws who were visiting from Mexico was incredible. I know that this is unusual and we so appreciated it. So often (like in my line of work) people only ever take time out to complain or bring issues. I really wanted to take a moment to just say thank you for all you did.
We greatly look forward to moving both of our children over to you as soon as my youngest is old enough.
Enjoy the rest of the week, and have a nice school year.

Thank you note from Cheryl H. for the changes in her son that blew their minds
Ms. Brophy,
I am very sure you get many of these letters but I needed to tell you once more.
I am so impressed, everyday, with what you have done with that school, and how it affects the lives of our children.
I transferred Nate from another preschool for his last year because of all of the rumors, referrals and many compliments regarding you and how you run your school.
My once shy, attached to mom, kid now doesn’t even kiss me goodbye.┬á He walks proudly with confidence each day down “kids way”. My husband and I did not think it was possible because our Nate wasn’t just shy – he was painfully shy.
Yesterday blew our minds. We were confident Nate was going to shy away or freeze but it was just the opposite. I don’t think you truly realize the impact you have had on him and our family. I want to thank you with my whole heart for this amazing gift of confidence you have given him.┬á I will forever appreciate you!!!
I should have listened to my mother-in-law when she begged me to send my kids there from the beginning. My husband and his siblings were all students of TT.
But I believe God wanted TT to be just Nate’s. Being 15 months apart from his big brother they share everything BUT TT. This is his and it will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life because you gave my son a smile I’ve never seen – and for that THANK YOU!!!
I couldn’t help but think of Tom Thumb and you yesterday as Charlotte finished her last official day of high school.┬á I was just remembering the banner at preschool graduation which said Class of 2016 — it sounded so far away.
Happy, happy birthday! I hope it is still a big day of celebration at Tom Thumb.
