It has been so wonderful working with and learning from you over the last two years! I will miss collaborating with you at STC but will remind our shared students of you frequently! The impact you have made on students (and me) will last a lifetime.

I hope you are able to enjoy an Alaskan cruise during your retirement. ;)

Jill,

It was always a pleasure getting to work with you while you were teaching at Lou Henry. I also enjoyed being able to spend time with you outside of work as well. Enjoy your travels as I am sure you will have many!

Jill Bird-

Getting to know you over the past few years has been nothing but a joy. Whether you're teaching me invaluable learning around DHH support or reenacting a "typical" day in the life, it has been nothing but a blast to know you. Your advocacy in education will be so missed, but your retirement is so deserved!! Congratulations, Jill!

In all your years of teaching,

there must be only one,

who dared defiantly squat

and look you in the eye

as he sprayed you from the throne.

He can't be forgotten.

Wishing you all the best as you enjoy a slower pace.

Jill - Soooo glad I got to work with you and have lots of laughs with you these last 2 years. The connection you made with students was more than admirable - they learned so much and had fun while learning! I know we will be thinking of you next year when we review someone's goal related to a potential job skill!!! LOLOL Loved every minute with you and will miss you! Enjoy doing whatever YOU want to do!!!
