Analleli, as you move on to this next exciting chapter of your journey, I just want to take a moment to thank you for the incredible impact you've had here at WIDA. Your hard work, dedication, and positive spirit have always been a source of inspiration to those around you. It’s been such a privilege to work and learn alongside you.

While I’m sad to see you go, I’m also extremely excited for all the new opportunities that lie ahead for you at CAL. You have so much to offer. I know you’ll continue to shine, bringing warmth, passion, and brilliance to every project and person you encounter.

Please know that you’ll be missed more than words can say. Our team won’t be the same without you, but I’m cheering you on every step of the way. Wishing you nothing but happiness and success in this new chapter—you deserve it all!

Stay in touch, and best of luck with everything that’s ahead.

With all my best,

Leslie

Analleli,

It is difficult to imagine you leaving WIDA, yet here it is. You are leaving a legacy of with WIDA Fellows, WIDA Espanol, our first set of free microlearnings during the pandemic, and kindness. Kindness and empathy are your superpowers along with all you other bad ass skills!

Thank you for listening and being a part of our team. Yours will always be my go to number when I need a place to stay in Chicago. Thank you for what you have given our educators, their students, WIDA, and us. I will miss you! I am toasting you with a dirty martini! Salud!

Love Justine

As you know, Analleli, you still owe me a karaoke duet and until that happens, you are unable to quit, since you are currently too legit.

Best Wishes,

Fischer

Thank you for being you!

I have learned so much from your human-first leadership, bright mind and thoughtful approach to all you do. Thank you for the countless things you have done to advocate for students and educators across the country.

Always here to be in your corner - even if it’s just to be the only two to know the words to Stick Season during a karaoke session :)

Anallely, sin duda alguna te vamos a extrañar muchísimo. Me siento increíblemente afortunada y agradecida de haber tenido la oportunidad de conocerte y compartir contigo. Trabajar a tu lado ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, siempre nos contagiaste con tu alegría, pasión y dedicación en cada proyecto.

Eres una persona excepcional, llena de talento, humildad y generosidad, y siempre demuestras lo mejor de ti en todo lo que haces. Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, enseñanzas y consejos, que han dejado una huella imborrable en cada uno de nosotros. Tu presencia ha sido fundamental en nuestro crecimiento personal y profesional, especialmente para el equipo de WIDA Español que sin duda sentirá mucho tu ausencia.

En CAL son verdaderamente afortunados de contar contigo, y estoy segura de que brillarás y aportarás muchísimo en esta nueva etapa. Espero que este nuevo camino esté lleno de grandes logros y felicidad porque mereces lo mejor.

Sabes que aquí siempre tendrás amigos y colegas que te aprecian y admiran muchisimo. Te mando un fuerte abrazo y mis mejores deseos en esta nueva aventura! <3 Fatima Rivera

WIDA will not be the same without you, Analleli. Your warmth, passion, and tireless advocacy for multilingual students and families have made a huge impact on our work. Thank you for your many valuable contributions and for your leadership in building strong relationships and making a positive impact on the field.

We’ll miss you a ton, but I wish you the very best of success at CAL. They’re lucky to have you!

I am SO happy for you, Analleli! You are such a multidimensional, genuine, compassionate, hilarious person. You naturally operate at a level that sends vibrations of acceptance and love everywhere you go. CAL is so lucky to have you. And although I am sad to see you leave, I know you will be doing great work and it would be selfish for us to hold you back from spreading your greatness. I WILL, however, still be hitting you up for long nights in Chicago when I come visit.

Big, squeezy hugs to you!

Christina

I'm excited for you as you enter this next chapter of your life. You are a gem and CAL is lucky, lucky, lucky to have you. (Yes, I've matured and I've finally reached the stage of being really happy for you.

I've enjoyed our hikes where we've resolved workshop problems (CO circa 2017?) and resolved the world problems (most recently in CA). I know our paths will cross again as friendships do not end when jobs do.

There's a guest room with your name on it any time you want to visit. Much love, Melissa

Analleli, I am so so grateful for our times together over the years. There are many things I will treasure and remember from our time working together... from a padlet note and follow-up conversation connected to multilingualism at the beginning of newest SJCT transition to one time really early on when you shared about showing up with little plants or something like that instead of balloons for one of Javi's birthdays or events. I was a new mom then and it definitely shifted my thinking and I truly think of you when I see balloons and (try to) grow plants 🤣. Love how you care for communities and always lead with connection and humanity. Will miss you!!! - Amanda

Incredible Analleli! You will be so missed and CAL is so lucky to have you. There are many things I will treasure and remember about our times together. A couple of my many memories that have stayed with me are a presentation you gave on translanguaging during one of our quarterlies, a padlet comment and follow-up conversation on multilingualism during our latest SJCT transition, and last but not least something you shared way back maybe in 2018/2019 about how you brought plants instead of balloons to one of Javi's parties or events. I was a new mom then and it truly has stayed with me. Love how you care for things, and how you lead with humanity and connection.
