Thank you, Mr. Berry. You have been a sane and very responsive voice through a very challenging time. It must be an incredibly difficult situation to manage but you did it thoughtfully and with abundant care for the students. We are very lucky, and you will be missed!

Your patience, kindness, forbearance, and humor in the face of the tsunami this year's been are nothing short of hyperbole. Maybe you'll come back to serve lunches just for fun some time?

Well wishes,

Thank you, Michael! You have been an important part of our district these past 2 years. My favorite thing about you is the way you communicate with the students and families. I can't say enough about this. You make sure anything, big or small, is communicated to the MRPS community. You respond quickly and kindly, it's honest and transparent. You're an outstanding leader and MRPS is lucky to have you on their team. Best wishes for the rest of the school year!

Mr. Berry,

Thank you for all the kindness and support you provided our family as the Virtual Academy Principal last year. Additionally, thank you for your leadership as the Interim Principal this fall. You do a fantastic job of wearing many hats and wearing them all well. MRPS is very fortunate to have you. Hopefully, "just" doing your "real job" won't feel boring to you now!

All my best,
Stephani Kononan (Dez Cook's mom)

Hi Viper! :) Thank you so much for all you have done at MSMS this year. The word "challenge" doesn't even begin to describe it, yet you showed up, communicated clearly, encouraged greetings and support, and provided fantastic leadership at the school this year. We cannot thank you enough. I especially appreciated the recording of Gator News each week. Virtual high five from the Remicks! - Jill, Jesse and Natalie Remick

Thank you so much for always showing up each morning to greet our kids and waiting in the afternoon by the buses to wave them good bye.  It was no easy task stepping into this role as Interim Principal during the height of covid, with little guidance from the State.  You did the best you could and have kept everyone safe.  We are so lucky and fortunate to have you in our community!  Please, get some rest and take some time off before returning to your "regular" job!!!!

Thank you so much for going above and beyond every day for the benefit of our students and community. You stand outside and greet the students, you are present at meetings with parents lending ideas on additional programs and ways we can help. You communicate so well all the constant changes that have become our way of life. And you have navigated COVID protocols so well that have created the most opportunity for kids to stay in school as possible. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do. We are lucky to have you on the team!
