“This holiday season there are many things to be thankful for. I want to take this opportunity to
say thank you to everyone involved with First Star for all being who you are and for being a part
of the First Star Greater Washington Academy. Without your commitment, support
and engagement we would not be able to fulfill our mission to develop the next generation of
leaders, educate young minds and change nationwide statistics for foster youth. From
the FSGWA family to yours, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, and a safe holiday season!”
