Dear Stacy,

While it’s hard to imagine the Instructional Coach Program without your sharp mind and thoughtful presence, I’m so excited to see where this next step takes you.

You’ve brought a level of insight, professionalism, and quiet determination that has pushed all of us to think more deeply and do better. It’s been inspiring to watch how you approach your work with intention, curiosity, and a constant drive to be your best. Those qualities have made such a lasting impact, and we’re all better for having worked alongside you.

Wishing you all the success, growth, and recognition you deserve! You are an incredible Smartasaurus!

Hugs,

Dana

Stacy-

When I think of you as a colleague the first things that come to mind is support, comfort, and care. You have the amazing ability to make people feel seen and heard at all times. Your talent for making the time keeper job be the most supportive role on our team is beyond compare.

I learned so much from you, the questions that you asked of the group, the way you lead our thinking, and the insights you shared.

I will miss having you at our coaching meetings, and I am so thankful that the students in SoWashCo will get to have the experience of being in your class and learning from one of the best humans I know.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all that you brought to our team and me. Your strong math brain is truly remarkable—your ability to break down complex problems with such precision and clarity always leaves me in awe (and get it correct 100% of the time, ha!). The attention to detail you bring to everything you do ensures that nothing is overlooked, and that makes a world of difference in everything we work on together.

The way you lead with kindness and maintain such a positive attitude, even when faced with challenges makes you stand out. Your ability to stay calm and optimistic, no matter the obstacles, creates a space where everyone feels supported and motivated. You make everything easier to navigate, and I’m so grateful to work alongside someone as talented, thoughtful, and uplifting as you.

You are one of the kindest, most empathetic people I have ever worked with. Your ability to listen without judgement or agenda is amazing, and you are like a locked vault when it comes to confidentiality. I admire your skills as an Instructional Coach so much. I also love that I taught with your mom -- her wisdom, talent and kindness shines in you. Best of luck -- and I hope we get to keep in touch!

Stacy, your kind and thoughtful approach to coaching has inspired me from the beginning.

I admire your ability to truly coach by selecting just the right question to ask. You help people develop their own insights and empower them to solve their own problems. You have this uncanny ability to keep a conversation solution-focused and keep the ownership on the coachee. You don't insert yourself or your own curiosities or desires to feel helpful; you stay patiently by someone's side until they have the agency to solve the problem in the way that works for them.

I'm impressed by your reflective nature and how you refuse to let a problem define you. Rather than getting consumed by worry, you embrace a problem as a growth opportunity. You are constantly reflecting on and analyzing your own actions and you want to continuously learn and improve.

Some other qualities that make you a strong member of our team are your attention to detail and your unwavering honor of the absent. Your focus on clarity in communication means that every project you touch gets taken to the next level. You never speak poorly of anyone and even make it impossible to know whom you are speaking about.

I am not exaggerating when I say I am honored to have been on a team alongside you. Your quiet leadership has influenced more people than you will ever know. Thank you for your dedication to our team, and for your friendship. ❤️

Stacy,

You’ve been in this with me from the start, and I honestly can’t imagine these past six years of coaching without you. You’re a total rockstar! You are so kind, so brilliant, and always there when someone needs a hand. Your gift for making sense of data, your calm presence, and your willingness to help without an ounce of judgment have meant the world to me. You lead with intention and curiosity, and you are so thoughtful of others. I’m going to miss you so much on our team, but I have no doubt you’re going to move mountains for your students next year. Don't be a stranger! Stay in touch!

I’m really going to miss working with you as an instructional coach. You always had a unique perspective and were so perceptive, offering helpful insights in a kind, honest way. It was a pleasure collaborating with you, and your insights made a real difference in our work.

As you move into teaching math, your students are lucky to have you. Your patience and ability to make complex ideas easy to understand will be a huge asset in the classroom. I’ll miss working together, but I know you’ll continue to make a big impact.

It will definitely be a notable change not having you as a colleague next year, but I know you are not going anywhere. You are still a leader in your building and in our district through your service as a building union representative. And of course your students will be so fortunate to have you back in the classroom again. I know that you will continue to use your skillset – and your wit! – to drive growth and change and to uplift others. See you around!

Stacy...so grateful that I have been blessed to learn with and from you these past few years. In my early months as a coach, you were that constant voice that reminded me that "I am doing enough...I am doing great...keep up the great work...you'll get the hang of it." I needed that more than you knew--especially when self-doubt reared its ugly head--you were there to squash it out! Appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness, wisdom, and constant voice of reason. I will always wear my BBA bracelet with pride and strength. You have strengthened our team in numerous ways with your wisdom, perspective, resilient spirit, thoughtfulness and care for so many of us. All the best as you bring your BBA back to the classroom--your colleagues and students will be impacted by all the experience and heart you bring with you!

You are always Stacy-on-the-spot when it comes to data and testing questions, and I seriously don’t know what we’d do without you. Your willingness to jump in and help, no matter what’s needed, doesn’t go unnoticed. You take care of everyone around you with such kindness and heart.

Your math students are so lucky to have you back in the classroom. Thank you for all you do and for being such a steady, supportive presence for all of us.

I am grateful I had the opportunity to work with you these last two years. You have a remarkable gift for making everyone feel valued and heard, and that's something truly special. You've been a great resource for questions and a constant source of support for our team. We'll definitely miss your insights and your presence at our meetings. The group won't be the same without you, but we know you're going to do amazing things back in the classroom.

Wishing you the very best on this exciting new chapter!

I wouldn't be who I am today without you. The day we stepped into this role, you began to shape who I am, how I think, and the way in which I lead. I will be forever grateful for the time we spent leaning in, learning, and finding our path forward. Together. Much love to you as you find this next path 💜

You are the one that is always directing us back to what's important and to "land the plane"! Thank you for always wearing your heart on your sleeve and being student-centered. Your classes next year are so blessed to have you back in the classroom teaching!
