I have been so blessed to have known you from your first day at DAA, and to see our friendship grow with each passing year! 🥰 Thank you for the love, care, dedication, and compassion you showed Stephen and for the infinite patience and kindness you show all your students every day.
I am grateful I got to know you not only as my son's teacher, but also as a colleague and most importantly as one of my dearest friends. I cherish our talks, our nights out, our laughs and yes even our tears! Thank you for always being there and lending a listening ear and a warm hug.
I wish you every happiness your heart can hold, no one deserves it more than you my dearest Joanna, you're simply the best! Here's to another fabulous year of life!!🥂
Much love to you,
Antonia

Happy birthday Joanna! I hope that you have an amazing day and enjoy your last birthday while living abroad in Dubai style! I wish I was there to celebrate with you but you’ll just have to celebrate with a little something extra until we can celebrate together in person! Can’t wait to hear all about it! 🥰

Our dearest Joanna,
We are so grateful that you are a part of our lives, and feel blessed to call you our friend. Thank you for the lovely chats we have; thank you for laughing at our silly jokes; thank you for looking interested in our sometimes pointless conversations; and thank you for liking us (we hope) even when we are crazy.
We wish you today, and always, good health, hope, peace, and joy.
Big hugs and lots of love,
Rhonda and Tooshna

It doesn’t really seem that long since we were celebrating you last year, but what a lot of water under the bridge since then.

I really hope that you have a lovely day and get to celebrate with your kiddos as well as after school, hopefully. I miss chatting with you and putting the world to rights. You are a passionate, inspirational friend and educator with incredible integrity. I wish you a fantastic year ahead and hope that you enjoy the exciting changes that the year ahead brings you. Let’s talk soon xxx

Hey friend. I hope you have a lovely day with all the best this weird world has to offer right now. I'm so glad I have you in my life to make me laugh, and laugh at all the most inappropriate things with me (*this is much less fun to do by yourself), and make people feel uncomfortable (*also less fun to do by yourself), and to salivate over hot dogs with (*still haven't managed to do this together, but it makes for a great Whatsapp message history).

All the love to you today and always!

I hope you have a most wonderful day!  It's been a pleasure to see you every morning as I walk into school.  Your shining smile always lifts me up, and I love reading your positive posts on instagram!  I hope you continue those next year on your next adventure.  All the best to you, lovely lady!

Dear Joanna,
How lovely it is to be your birthday. You sincerely are one of the most amazing people I have ever met (for so many reasons). Where to even begin?

Well, I will begin with this. You are a trickster. I fathom you for it. But I guess it provides a little humor....for you. *Scoff* But seriously I enjoy it. Kind of. Maybe a lot. You'll never know. :)

But in all seriousness, I appreciate your ability to show care for people. For myself, you have checked on me, but more related to your team. You stand up for them and really understand them (from what I hear). That is an amazing quality to have and I know that we all love and value it.

Your sense of humor is beyond this world and I can always share a deep belly laugh. I don't know about you, but I enjoy belly laughs. Your goofiness matches mine, and that doesn't happen for me often.

Your hard work and leadership is also top notch. I would have been lucky to have you as a teammate, but I will take our inquiry meeting pair ups as a bonus.

I cherish all the moments that we do have, and I wish we could have more. Next year will not be the same without you, but you will forever be in my heart.

Happy birthday. :)
