Laura-

I truly loved whenever I was able to work alongside you during our coaching meetings. You have a heart and passion for the work that you do and it shows in everything that you work on.

I learned so much from you as I have continued on my coaching and equity journey. So while I will miss getting to see your face on a regular basis, I hope that we have opportunities to work alongside one another again!

I just want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are such a strong empath—someone who truly leads with her heart in everything she does. It’s not just felt, it’s seen in every interaction, every decision, and every space you enter. Your passion for your work is undeniable, and the way you carry that passion with purpose, integrity, and a deep commitment to equity is nothing short of inspiring.

You always show up with thoughtful questions and ideas that aren't just insightful—they're intentional. There’s real meaning behind everything you bring to the table, and it challenges those around you to think more deeply, act more consciously, and move with purpose. Your presence is a gift, and I’m so grateful to learn from you, be inspired by you, and witness the impact you’re making just by being exactly who you are.

Laura,

I’m so grateful for the time we spent working together, especially last year as coach leads, as it gave me a chance to truly see the fierce advocate that you are. You stand up for what’s right, you speak your truth with courage, and you always, always put students at the center of every decision. Our schools need more educators like you. While we will deeply miss your voice and presence on our coaching team, I know your classroom will be a place where students feel seen, supported, and empowered. Wishing you all the best! 💕

Laura,

I am so grateful to have been a coach alongside you these past three years. I admire your unwavering focus on what is important. You pursue goals because you believe in them, not for personal glory, and you don't give up when things get difficult.

Your ability to see the greater picture with all its moving parts makes you an especially effective leader. You see connections where others can't. You can predict the effects of one small action. Paired with your creativity and unwillingness to think inside the box, you are an unstoppable champion for whatever cause or goal you pursue.

I am constantly in awe of your coaching insight. You can craft just the right question to nudge someone's thinking. Your integrity and high regard for others means that anyone can come to you, and you will set aside any personal issues in order to help them. Before they know it, they will have arrived at a novel solution or will have completely changed their mind on an issue.

Thank you for your dedication to your school, our team, and the district these past three years. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. ❤️

It’s hard to put into words how much you’ve meant to me as a coach. I’ve worked with you many times over the last several years, and every single time, I walked away feeling seen, challenged, and supported. You never just go through the motions—you show up fully, speak your truth, and bring this incredible honesty that pushes people to grow. I’ve always admired how you can be direct and brave, but still deeply kind and thoughtful. I’ll miss coaching with you, but I know you’re going to do something really special with your students.

I am truly in awe of your unwavering commitment to equity in our district. You consistently show up, speak up, and stand firm in what you believe is right for kids, and it’s so powerful to witness. The way you lead with both strength and heart inspires me deeply.

Thank you for welcoming me back to the IC group with such openness and kindness. That meant more to me than you know. I feel lucky to have had the chance to learn alongside you.

Every time I hear March March by The Chicks (my favorite!), I think of you. Our SoWashCo students are so lucky to learn from you.

I am so fortunate to have worked with you in so many capacities by now and I count myself fortunate again that our work may continue with my return to ERHS next year. You have been such a help to me as a coach throughout the years. Your facility with cognitive coaching is something to which I still aspire. Thank you for always keeping students at the center of your purpose in this work. We need more of that.

Laura...you care deeply, you feel deeply, and your passion for doing what is right runs deeply. What a blessing it has been for me to get to work so closely with you these past few years. Your coaching stances, your probing questions, your kind heart... shone brightly in so many ways. Your passion for students and teachers runs deep and I am grateful to have been a part of your educational journey these past few years. Grateful for your insight, thoughtfulness, and true grit when things got tough. I will miss getting to see you in person on a regular basis. Continue to let your passion shine through as you make lasting impacts on those you work with and for. Thankful for you! P.S. Need to get out on that beautiful porch of yours one last time!

Whenever I faced a challenge, I knew you were always willing to talk through problems patiently, and your valuable insights always seemed to cut right to the heart of things. You've left a truly positive mark. Wishing you all the very best in your next chapter!

LAURA -You were one of the first ICs I met, and you immediately set the bar high. You gave me a clear glimpse of the image, responsibility, and importance of the role right from the start. Your skill and dedication made the job feel prestigious and respected.

I truly appreciate how you’re always real and speak up for what you believe in. But what really sets you apart is that you don’t just say it—you follow through and make things happen. I really admire your intensity and commitment to staying true to your ethics.

Your future students and colleagues have so much to learn from you. They’ll grow simply by learning from you every day. Thank you for everything you’ve shared.
