Remember the name you were called when you were a child. I will truly miss both your energy and wisdom. I could always count on you to cover an IEP meeting. Most of all, I will miss you as a person. Who else can I debate with or disagree with during my marathon meetings!
You embody the Christa McAuliffe quote: "I touch the future. I teach."
You are simply the best!!!!

This building and job will not be the same without you! Thank you for always being there for me to listen, to advise, to hug--whatever I've needed, you've always had it for me. Thank you, and I will miss you at Rogers-Herr but hopefully our friendship will carry on outside of the work life.
Congrats and enjoy--you so deserve it!
Love,
Jenny Umbarger

It's unfortunate our lives crossed paths so late in your career.  However, I will cherish the short time we had.  You've taught me the importance of building strong relationships with students.  I thank you for your words of encouragement.  I'll miss your hugs the most! I hope you're able to come visit us.  Keep in touch!

Congratulations on your retirement,

I've known you since my daughter Jasmine's six grade year here at RHMS.  Jasmine will graduate from ECU next year.  I appreciate everything you did for my kids when they were here.  It has also been a pleasure working with you.

Enjoy your retirement.

Myra,
I always loved the energy and enthusiasm you brought to Rogers-Herr every day.  It was impossible to be grumpy around you.  And, you make the best darned cheesy grits I've ever had in my life.  Enjoy yourself!  You've earned it!

Love,
Rhonda Faircloth (Kaye)

Myra, I love the positive spirit and energy that you brought to any environment that you are in.  I very much enjoyed working with you and miss seeing you everyday.  I especially LOVE my daily happy hugs.  I'm not sorry, but I won't miss the snake in your office though ;) LOL.

I wish you the VERY BEST on your retirement!!

Myra, You were always the energizer bunny. You just keep going and going and going bring a smile and laughter everywhere you went.
You have served faithfully students, parents, staff, administrators and DPS district as whole. You have touch and influenced so many lives; some you will find out about and others you will never know.
It has been a honor to work with you and you have been a great mentor as well. I have loved getting to know you so well and consider you a lifetime friend.
I hope now that  you are retiring you get to take some time for yourself. You have given so much to so many now get some YOU TIME!!! I hope in some way I get to be apart of your "You Time.".
I love you and your hugs.

Myra,
Never have I worked with an AP that was as personable, fun loving, and a natural people person as I have with you.  You brought a different spirit to RH that the building desperately needed.  I looked forward to your smiling face walking into my room to conduct an observation or for just a place to sit and talk.  Your warm hugs and just your presence made me feel safe, appreciated, and cared for.  Best if luck in your next adventure.  Be sure to do what makes you happy and have the time of your life.  And if you ever open your own massage business, let me know.  I'll be your first client.  The shoulder massages in stressful times is truely missed.

Best always, Beth Spataro

When I first encountered you, it was at a track meet and you were riding your bike. I thought to myself what a cool Assistant Principal. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work with you. Then the following year, I interviewed here at Rogers-Herr and you were on the panel. I could tell by your humor and laid back demeanor that we would hit it off just fine. It's been a pleasure working with you. I will miss your energy early in the morning at car pool and even after throughout the day! Thank you for the positive and encouraging talks! I wish you nothing but the best during your retirement. I know that you will experience lots of fun things now that you have more time to explore. As always, You ROCK!

All the best in this new chapter of your life, and thank you for all your help as I have been transitioning to also teaching middle school students at RHMS There's certainly a big difference between teaching kids that know you ever since they started school in kindergarten and starting with 6th, 7th and 8th graders who've already begun to spread their wings.

Best.

Myra, Your presence at Rogers Herr has been so positive and sincere. I enjoyed all the back rubs, encouraging conversations, and true outlook your brought each and every day. I couldn't imagine starting my new teaching career with another assistant principal, no one could match your cool personality. Thank you for all you have done for staff and students. You will be missed tremendously. Thank you for all you have done. I look forward to seeing you during your retirement. I hope you enjoy some free time relaxing outside in the sun!

Much love,

I mean let's be honest, you retired three years ago when you stopped being an AP so you could play dodgeball all day, lol. Our time together at Rogers-Herr was four of the hardest years of my life personally but professionally were four incredible years and a lot of that was because I was blessed to work with you (and Deputy Scott) everyday. I am so thankful to have you as a friend in my life and beyond excited for  your retirement. I know you fake like you are so excited but after all these years pouring your heart into kids it will not be long before you are showing your face around schools or programs to continue to impact kids. It's what your beautiful soul was created to do! Nothing but love always and happy retirement friend, love you!
