Dear Friends,
The arrival of September signals not only the changing of seasons but also a fresh beginning, filled with excitement and boundless opportunities.
Just as the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse has stood as a beacon of hope and guidance to countless mariners, this new school year promises to illuminate our lives with knowledge, growth, and inspiration. Whether you are a student, a parent, a teacher, or simply someone who appreciates the power of education, this is a moment to celebrate.
Our commitment to the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse and its preservation reflects a dedication to preserving our beloved city's rich history and heritage. Similarly, the start of a new academic year allows us to uphold the traditions of learning and personal development at our community's heart. As we embark on this educational journey, let us remember the lessons of resilience and adaptability that our lighthouse has taught us. Just as it has weathered storms and guided ships safely through the night, we can overcome challenges and navigate the uncharted waters of a new school year. Together, we can guide our students, helping them find their way to success.
Our lighthouse has always been a symbol of hope. Our vision is to create a “Classroom on the Lakefront” to provide students with a unique opportunity to learn about our city’s rich maritime history in a very special setting. In the coming months, the Friends of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse will continue our mission to support and protect this iconic landmark. We will also explore ways to collaborate with local schools and educational organizations to promote maritime history and environmental awareness.
Thank you for your unwavering support of our organization and the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse. Together, we will ensure that its light continues to shine for generations.
Wishing you all a fantastic start to the new school year filled with joy, learning, and
endless possibilities.
Be Safe and Be Well!
Regards,
Kurt Lentsch
Chief Dreamer and President, Friends of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse
