Seall Values

Dear Shelby, Thanks for everything you do and have done for me, it’s much appreciated. Also this next thing your about to read may seem & sound a little bit weird, but it is completely and totally 100% truth. Shelby you’re the closest thing to a mother that I’ve had in six years and that is why it was so hard for me to leave 206. Yes it is probably a little weird for me to feel this way but I have not had someone that I feel is like a mother in six years so it is unusual for me as well. I would appreciate if you could figure out a way to get up here and visit me as soon as you possible can. Please write back as soon as possible please.

To the staff that works here, Thanks for being so supportive, you guys taught me a lot. This place helped me think about what I have done and what I want to do in my life. Thank you guys

Miss you all, I’m at the Vermont School for Girls and I miss you guys so much. Former Resident

Hi,. My son recently spent 3 months with you before being (finally) sent on to a Residential Treatment Ctr. I was very impressed with your staff during his stay there. Please find enclosed a donation to your program. While you may feel free to use the money as you see fit, my hope is that you will use it in the following way. Your staff is your greatest attribute. I hope that this might help you to recruit, retain, provide continuing education, or in whatever manner might help you to keep and reach out to quality staff. This in turn helps to benefit all the boys who pass through your doors. I think you are doing great work and will continue to do so. Sincerely,  A Grateful Parent  

Dear Depot St Staff, We just want to say thanks – our son is doing well partly because of the care and encouragement you’ve given him. We will always be grateful for that. Yours is a difficult and challenging job, yet you manage to keep kids physically and emotionally safe at a time when they have little control over themselves or their lives. Keep up the good work and thanks again.”
