Thank you.

Two words that mean everything to us right now. We are so amazed at the support and enthusiasm we've seen over the past month. It's insane to believe we only came up with the idea for Concordia less than a month ago (23/03/14 to be exact!). So I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who's helped us get to where we are today. Which is with over 60 students (When we were worried we wouldn't get 30!) and hopefully more to come in the next few days.

My first thank you is to our teaching staff. We really wanted to go for quality over quantity which is why we made sure we interviewed everyone and asked so many questions! I still can't believe we found so many amazing teachers. Sookie and Bella have been doing an amazing job running the houses so far, the common rooms look amazing (Much better than anything I could have ever done) and all their ideas are inspiring! Our building teachers, Adaline and Detron, Adaline has been amazingly helpful, so enthusiastic all the time and willing to teach anything we needed - it's amazing of her to teach her secrets and we all can't wait. And Detron, we can tell already how smart and wise he is, I love how dedicated he is to making sure everyone is happy and his willingness to give everyone what they want is incredible. Revy, our Kindergarten and Dance teacher, despite being so busy lately she's still found the time to do so much, her enthusiasm to make sure no one is left out is rare to find which makes us so lucky. Dizzy, our hidden gem, this is her first time teaching in SL but she's so excited and passionate, I have so much faith she'll make an amazing teacher. Ellie, our hero! We were panicking about not having enough Kindergarten classes and there she is, offering to do two! She came along at the right time! Bridget, I was so happy to see her there for most of the day on Sign Up Day, she's such a friendly and kind person I know she'll make the best teacher. Sookie has been fantastic, when we needed someone to teach Drama she jumped in and volunteered herself! She's so enthusiastic about the school it radiates! And Peyton, without whom we wouldn't be able to offer soccer as a club, we're so grateful he volunteered because we were really starting to panic!

Riley, our TD uniform maker! She's been so busy in RL and SL and she's still found the time to make so many different uniform choices. I can't wait to show everyone what she's made - I don't think we could have found someone better! Oliver, our regular kid uniform maker! We've already seen from Sign Up Day how awesome the stuff he makes is, I really can't wait to see what he does with the regular kid uniforms, I know all the regular kids out there will be so grateful!

Our fundraisers. Wow. We pushed the deadline up a week with very short notice and they all still managed to make it in time! Even Connie who made her pose in one day! We all know how great their stuff was and I could see everyone getting excited about Winter and Madeleine's stuff on FB before they were finished! Thank you so much for supporting the school, everything that was on sale was amazing! Thank you Madeleine, Oliver, Maddison, Cady, Connie, Winter & Adaline.

Our Isley. I know she's no longer with the school but she did an amazing job. The signs above all the rooms and hallways were made by her! She also sat in on most of the interviews and even led one with Tiffy without me when my Internet was playing up. Thank you for all your ideas and work.

Oscar, I feel like I need to give the father of Concordia a mention. For those of you who don't know him, he sat behind the scenes and came up with a lot of our ideas. He came up with the name Concordia and our Motto 'Definitione Virtutum - Defining Excellence.' He's also the best Janitor in the world of course.

Tiffy. Oh my Tiffy. Tiffy has been very busy in RL but she's still found the time to be on EVERY DAY to work on the school with us. She managed to finish the office building just in the nick of time! She's the sweetest person you'll meet; she refused to let me do it even though I had time because she thought I'd done too much! She was there for the majority of Sign Up Day and took over for me when I was busy in RL! She's been behind me from the start on the whole thing and her support has really helped me out when things have been crazy and I've felt overwhelmed. We can thank her as well for the Sim. She brought it for Concordia as a surprise for me and had Chelsea distract me while she did it! She is so wise (I know I'm going to regret saying that) and I hope you all get to see that if you need to go to her with anything! Man I love you Laundry. Thank you for all you've done.

There are so many others as well that have helped us, Britain with her advice, Chelsea with her social butterfly-ness (I had no idea she had friends o.O Just kidding!<3) and I could be here all day.

And finally, all of you. Everyone who pre-registered helped us decide on class times and what classes and clubs we needed to run. The information you all provided us has enabled us to offer all we can today. And all the students that have signed up so far, we hope we can give you everything you want and more! Thank you everyone who attended our party last night and everyone who kept us company on Sign Up Day. Thank you all, for letting us be here today.

If you managed to read all this - well done! On a side note, welcome packages should be sent out tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. We're going to send out group invites at the same time to make it easier. So far everyone who has applied has a place, although not everyone is in all the classes they wanted unfortunately.

Thank you all,

Isabella Concordia
