Thank you for inspiring me to work in preschool. I would not be where I am without you! Taking Human Services in high school is still one of the best decisions I have ever made because you and Mrs. Konrad taught me the importance of being someone that children and adults feel they can come to, to feel safe and seen. It is because of this that I feel like I have been able to connect so well with my co-workers and the children I work with. Thank you for being the amazing person you are and an amazing role model! -Renee

Melanie, you have been an inspiration to me from the very beginning. The way that you care for each and every child is so special! You have been an amazing mentor to me these last two years and your willingness to let me put my learning to the test in the classroom has been so beneficial. I can only hope to be as great a teacher as you. I have seen you do amazing things in the classroom and baby Ella is so luck that she got a mom who loves so hard!

Dear Cool Sarah,

Thank you for taking me under your wing and supporting me EVEN after I sent an accusatory email about dirty dishes in the classroom sink before even meeting you. Our years were filled with chaos and random facts! Who knew that Owls liked cheezits :)

We have cried. We have laughed. We have wiped many many many bottoms. We have... well no....YOU have peed on the carpet.

It has been a journey but I am so glad we went through this journey together.

love,

The other Sarah.
