Thank you so much for leading us through the strangest year I'm sure we've all had. I appreciate how thoughtful and caring you are as a leader, and commend you for creating lemonade out of lemons this year. I am so grateful to work have a leader I can learn from, collaborate with, and feel supported by. As a teacher this means the world. Thank you so much and get some well deserved rest this summer!

As  you said, words do not quite convey my feelings of gratitude and appreciation  toward  your leadership .  Many thanks for your support and guidance as we navigated this year of remote learning! I told my students this morning that we may not have had a road map, but we sure did find our way. We found our way with your support and for that I am ever grateful.   Wishing you  a wonderful summer,
Sylvia

I have really appreciated your thoughtful leadership this year. It's hard to pilot during a pandemic, and especially coming into a new school setting...from another country...not knowing any of us...remotely. Sheesh! You're vision and the way you are able to articulate it has been invaluable for us this year. I'm so glad that you are with us and I look forward to next year!

Thank you for all your hard work this year.  I know it could not have been easy starting out as a new principal at a new school much less in the year of Covid and with the political pressures to handle the situation with our camping neighbors.  I was very impressed with how you handled everything.  Thank you for being the leader we needed!

Thank you Tip for your support during this crazy year. I appreciate your calm demeanor especially when I wasn't feeling calm. Thank you for being a great listener and for making people feel heard. I hope you have a great summer and can watch some of the Euro2020!

Dear Tip,

I truly appreciate that you are not only a great listener, but you also make things happen. You are also very supportive and you trust your staff to use their professional judgment in order to do what’s best for the students and their families. Broadview-Thomson is very fortunate to have you as a principal. I hope you have a well-deserved break this summer!

Wrapping up the school year, and what has gone right?  You may wonder why I started out with that.

In year, where so much could have gone wrong, it is important to remember what went right.  You arrived on the scene to become the new principal of B-T PreK-8 School.  I could tell you were eager to get started with the work, but first you needed to find out what you had signed up.  So, you made a very thoughtful move, and that was to invite each person to have a one on one with you, and you were still abroad.  “Who does that?”

To me, that spoke volumes about who you were as a person.  You were making an investment in the community, the staff and the school, in order to know how best to guide the school ,and the goals that we are  collectively charged with  achieving.  You built trust with the staff.  I have found you to be an active listener, a kind and thoughtful person. I have appreciated your willingness to engage with the larger community, students and staff.  It has not been the easiest of years. Difficult things often make us stronger, as individuals.

As our leader you have helped all of us to build a foundation for our school, which will only lead to extraordinary achievements for our students, in the future.         Thank you for choosing to come to Broadview -Thomson Pre-K-8 School, and I look forward to working with you in the fall.  Wishing you a wonderful relaxing summer.  You certainly have earned it.   Sincerely, Vickie

Thank you for your leadership, vision, and hard work this school year. It isn't easy coming into a new school in general, but you also had the added challenge of virtual learning, moving countries, and becoming acclimated to a brand new community virtually. I think you did a great job of grounding our team and allowing us to be a more cohesive group. I feel you did a great job getting involved, being willing to listen to thoughts/suggestions for the team, and addressing any concerns you received (and I'm sure there were plenty😂). Again, thank you so much for choosing to come to Broadview and for all you were able to accomplish this last year. You helped us become a better and stronger team of educators!

I think you've transitioned nicely.  Hang in there with us and be brave.  Lord knows our kids are! Sometimes it's hard to do the next right thing.
I hope you can rest some this summer, or as one of my very wise colleagues said, "find the things that fill you up".

You opened your first staff meeting with a poem and I knew the year was off to a great start.  Your dedication around the words you use and the language with which you convey your ideas is noticed and appreciated.  I'm not sure how you manage all that you do but you manage the people first and foremost and with such care.  Thank you and I'm excited to work with you next year and to see you with students! - Kristina
