Dear QCSD Families and Community:
As Thanksgiving approaches, I am reminded of the many blessings of being part of this extraordinary community. Our students, staff, families, alumni, and volunteers show unwavering dedication to the growth and well-being of those around them, and I am deeply grateful for the passion and contributions of each of you.
To our students: As we enter this holiday season, take time to cherish the moments with your family and celebrate all the hard work you’ve accomplished since August. Reflect on the support and encouragement you have—from both home and school—and recognize the difference you are making every day. We feel incredibly fortunate to guide and teach you, and we are proud of each of your achievements. Teaching in Quakertown is a true privilege, and together, we are shaping the leaders of the future.
To our parents and guardians: Thank you for your unwavering support and partnership in your child’s education. We are honored to be part of their journey and deeply grateful for families like yours—engaged, involved, and committed to helping our students thrive. Together, we are shaping bright futures.
To our alumni and volunteers: Your continued connection to QCSD is a powerful testament to the lasting impact of our schools and the deep sense of pride that Quakertown inspires. Your involvement not only strengthens the experiences of our students today but also ensures that future generations will enjoy the same opportunities, support, and sense of belonging that have shaped your own journey. Thank you for keeping the Panther spirit alive.
And to our remarkable faculty and staff: Every day, you inspire growth, curiosity, and kindness in our students. Your dedication and unwavering care ripple far beyond our classrooms, touching the lives of colleagues, families, and the broader community. I am honored to work with such passionate and committed professionals who make our schools and community a place of possibility and hope.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope each of you experiences a holiday filled with joy, warmth, and meaningful connection. May this time of gratitude remind us of the strength, kindness, and support we share as a community.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Matthew Friedman
Superintendent of Schools
