Dear Friends and Supporters of Shine Learning Services,

After a year of much reflection and careful consideration, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to bring Shine Learning Services to a close. While this marks the end of our organization, it does not diminish the profound impact of the work that has been accomplished through Shine.

Shine was founded in 2017 by Tamera Boring, whose vision and dedication laid the foundation for everything we have accomplished. From the beginning, Shine was guided by a clear purpose: helping others discover and develop their learning potential. Over the years, we have been deeply moved by the courage and perseverance of the clients we’ve served, the unwavering commitment of our staff and volunteers, and the generous spirit of the families, businesses, and donors who have supported our mission. Together, we created a community where learning was nurtured, challenges were met with compassion, and victories (big and small) were celebrated.

Though this chapter is ending, we take comfort in knowing that the seeds planted here will continue to grow in the lives of the individuals and families touched by our programs. We are grateful beyond words for your trust, your partnership, and your belief in the vision that guided our work.

On behalf of the entire Board, thank you for walking alongside us. Shine could not have existed without you, and it has been our honor to serve.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shine Learning Services Board of Directors
