I want to thank you and all the staff at Star's for all of your encouragement, support, and enthusiasm. Your convictions has made it A successful learning experience for the students. The staff at Star's has worked exceptionally hard! The experiences that my student has incurred this year has made a drastic change in his attitude and ability to be responsible  As the first year for Stars Middle School draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings about and feelings about Mr. Karapinar. Mr. Karapinar was my daughter Alana's homeroom teacher for the first half of the year and her science teacher all year.
I am sure you must realize that you have a very gifted and dedicated teacher in Mr. Karapinar. He gave his all to our children in a consistent and continuous manner from the very beginning. I recall meeting him at the open house where we were first introduced to the staff of Stars Middle School. I was compelled by his passion to teach and reach these children and his passion to make science fun, real, and interactive. He organized numerous picnics, lock-ins, science events, the science fair, and the Science Olympiad. He made himself available every single day with a club or tutoring opportunity. He gave up many weekends and holidays to give his time for our children. He always made himself available when we had concerns about our daughter. He kept us informed and responded quickly whenever we had a question. His talents and commitment to the students and families of Stars Middle School are very exemplary.
I am especially impressed by his compassion and the support he gave my daughter. Although she repeatedly tried his patience, he provided consistent, gentle encouragement to help her succeed. He provided numerous opportunities to help her grow and show the talents he could see in her, even though she was having a great deal of difficulty believing in herself. I can see a tremendous change in her attitude and confidence, and it is largely due to Mr. Karapinars persistence.
If every teacher showed his courage and compassion, as well as his passion for the success of each student, we would have the most incredible, talented, and successful future to look forward to. Mr. Karapinar is a truly a gifted and talented teacher. We are so blessed to have him helping our children at Stars Middle School. Mr. Karapinar contributed overwhelmingly to the success of this school year. I can see Stars being a premier school of choice as long as we continue to have Mr. Karapinar and the other teachers at Stars driving the path to success for our middle school children.
Please accept my most sincere thanks. Have a wonderful summer and we look forward to coming back next fall. God bless you.
Sincerely, Teri Miner
