Dear Friends,
The holiday season is here, and I’d like to sincerely wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. May your heart & home be filled with peace & joy this Christmas and holiday season. It is my prayer that you all have a successful and healthy 2024 ahead of you.
I want to also take a moment to reflect gratefully on the past year—all of this year’s achievements experienced and celebrated by each STAR would not have been possible without the hard work and commitment from you, our staff, in collaboration with our families and partners.
It is in this spirit of joy and peace that I say thank you for such a wonderful year and encourage us all to look ahead at the amazing opportunities God will provide in the new year! Please be sure to celebrate this joyous time with your family and friends.
Have a wonderful Christmas with peace, love, and blessings to you and your family in 2024!
In Christ,
Sharon Coutryer
