You are a "she"ro to us all!!!  Piute was so lucky to have you for 33 years.  That's 33 years of teaching, inspiring, and genuine care towards your students.  We teamed up and created the best pep rallies.  I will miss that!  Thank you for everything and I wish you the best retirement.   Don't be a stranger! Once a warrior, always a warrior.

So funny to think back to when you were my teacher here at Piute in ‘89 to now being your colleague and seeing your commitment to providing opportunities for our students to happily enjoy themselves.  I hope you know that your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.  When all is said and done, and you have time to reflect upon your career, know that you alone have made a difference in the lives of thousands of kids and staff members.  Some of the most memorable experiences we’ve had are because of your commitment, dedication, and countless hours given to reward and recognize the Piute community and allow us to have fun and smile.  You are a rare person who is irreplaceable and you will live in the hearts of many for all eternity.
We love you and will miss you!

We did not always see eye-to eye (though usually we did), but I never had anything but respect for you and always considered you a friend and the matriarch of my Piute family. I love you my friend and wish you joy in your future endeavors.  Your friend, David Farmer

We didn’t work together for a long time, but the time we shared is unforgettable. You helped me more than I can put into words. From virtual learning, watching the Newsies production online, giving me books, and sharing stories and laughing. You are incredible at teaching leadership, language arts, and everything else. I will miss working with you so much! Enjoy your retirement! From Cassie Banks
