I am grateful that I get to HUG my students this year!!  I am grateful for my amazing team.  I am grateful for the opportunity to co-teach each and every day with Nick Russell.  I am grateful for our fabulous administration!  I am grateful for the ladies who "run the school" in the front office--I always step in there whenever I need a smile or a laugh or some sunshine!  I am grateful for all of my friendships and the gator FAMILY!  I am grateful for the fact that we are a K-8 school, where I get to teach my tweens, be delighted by the cute littles, and attend middle school sports to support former students and our school.  I am grateful that I have connections from K5 all the way up through 8, plus all of our awesome support staff.  I am grateful for not too many rainy days/indoor recess days lately (I hope I didn't just jinx it).  I am grateful for coffee!  I am grateful for supportive parents.  I am grateful for the humor and independence of 5th graders.  I am grateful that my own two babies get to come to school with me each day.  I am SOOOOOO grateful that the 6th grade team and Mrs. Llaneza haven't lost their minds/cool/patience with those same two babies this year!  I am GRATEFUL to be a GORDON GATOR!!

~The support from other staff members that pour into our kiddos.

I’m extremely grateful that I have been afforded the opportunity to serve alongside all you amazing educators. I’ve seen my daughter grow and become enthralled with RGS. That is due to your passion and love for teaching.  Nothing makes me prouder.

I am so thankful to work with Mrs. Endres & Mrs. Jones every day! Not too many people on this beautiful world wake up every day and LOVE going to work, but I do. I am so thankful that everyone has welcomed me to the RGS team and that I always feel supported. I love working in the Kinder / RA hall.

Thank you to our admin team. Each one of you go above and beyond for RGS and it does not go unnoticed.

I am thankful for the students in our class. They make every day an adventure, I look forward to seeing them every day.

Last but not least, thank you to the amazing teachers who love my two kids no matter what.

Co-workers that have become friends over the past 11 years at RGS!

Parents that send quick emails thanking us for the job we do-it makes up for the not so nice ones we get!

Admin that is supportive when you need to prioritize your family-I don't think Dan has ever hesitated to say yes when told that we need to do something for our families!

So thankful for hard working students who come in each day eager to learn.
