Thank you for all of your hard work with our students. Valor is not an easy place to figure out (I'm still working on some things) especially in a year where we are distance learning/teaching. It really is a testament to the type of educator and person you are. The kids built connections and were able to learn, grow, and feel comfortable on Zoom. I hope you take the summer to relax and get ready for next year!

I have really appreciated all of the conversations we have had this year, whether it be about how amazing Alex is doing or in our anti racism PD's. I see the care and love you have for all of our students and appreciate how strong of an advocate you are for them.

Carrying it all in stride... I would have never known you were in the throes of such a stressful year. Time to figure out what you're going to do with all that free time... hopefully it involves lots of chill time!
