Jasmine and Linsday- It is such a pleasure to know you ladies! I am grateful that we help each other, keep each other on task, and keep each other smiling while doing our duties in the front office. You already know my little quirks (like talking to myself and answering my own questions) and you encourage me when I have deadlines to meet. I am inspired to know that you care about the students and parents as much as I do and that you always go above and beyond for them and our Gator staff. I am blessed to work beside you. - Veronica Bowers

Mr. Reller and Mrs. Watanabe- Thank you for being positive and supportive administrators and for leading by example. The atmosphere, positivity, overall-support, and work ethic you have helped to grow here at Gage is unlike any other school that I have worked for in the district. I look forward to your energy every morning on campus and I'm thankful that you make it contagious among students and staff. My favorite is to watch how students interact interact with both of you. Nobody wants to get called into the Principal or Assistant Principal's office. Yet students still feel comfortable and still turn to you to help with their problems or concerns, or just to talk to you about their day. Often times, I see them just coming into the office or finding you at lunch just to say a quick hello or to "check in" with you both. When I see students encouraged to "check in" with our administrators and staff, it makes me happy to see how many people care about them. Thank you for encouraging that.  I'm grateful to be a Gator! - Veronica Bowers

Mr. Reller, thank you for a GATORRIFIC year.  “A leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding the potential in people and processes.” Brené Brown.  As a first-year teacher, you saw the potential in me and gave me a chance.  As a leader of students (especially Sped), you promoted a process to see that ALL students get an equitable opportunity to succeed in particular, SFS/AVID class.  A much-deserved principal of the year. Lounnivongsa

This is for EVERYONE!  My dad was a middle school Industrial Arts teacher and he had a lot of wisdom to share with me over the years.  One thing he said that can be useful as we wrap up the end this school year and look forward to the likelihood of starting the upcoming year with new expectations and environments is "taking care of ourselves, taking care of our students, taking care of each other, and trust that the rest will take care of itself."  Have a great summer vacation everyone and stop by for a cold libation if you're ever in the WOOD! (Carlson)

Mrs. Weber Perez, Vizcarra, and Watts!  Thanks for always having an open door when I have to speak with you about a student (or my own son).  I am appreciative that it doesn't come across that I am interrupting something important even though I know I am.  Have a great summer and look forward to lil' Mikey running around for the next couple of years. (Carlson)
