I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with you. I feel bad for the people who will never get to know the wonderful, caring, fun-loving, adventurous person that impacted so many lives. I will be sure to keep in contact with you as I need your wisdom in my life. Enjoy your family, friends and those adventures.

I came in at the very end, at Fort.  It is always a delight to meet someone with whom you connect so easily. That is how I felt when I met you, Paula. You are always so easy to be around, and SO helpful!! I know that you will find a new niche in which you will find much fulfillment. 🌟 Margo

# data[].attributes.body
I can't believe the time has come.  You were there for me at Washington when I was a baby principal and you stayed with me when I moved to Truman.  When I think of all the staff, families, and students you've touched over all of these years, not to mention all of the lives you've touched outside of school, no one has a legacy like yours, my dear Paula.

Looking forward to seeing what you will do next;  I have no doubt it will be spectacularly brilliant, just like you.

Love ya Girl,
Theresa

Words are not adequate -- you have been such a light in so many people's lives and the rock on which our school stands.  I will miss your strong opinions and your bottomless kindness, your undying optimism, and your willingness to step in and do what needs to be done.  I picture you (eventually) enjoying a warm beach in Belize, laughing until you cry, and many many days of family and love.

Oh, and I think your replacement is going to be okay as well.  ;-)

Love Always,

I don't know if you remember the first time we really talked, but I had just started at Fort and submitted some paperwork to take off for Rosh Hashanah, and you had so much passion to talk about spirituality with me and pointed at the Desiderata poem you had hanging up behind you. Ever since then, I felt such authentic comfort and love from you and towards you, and I always felt like you had my back. I cannot put into words and explain to you how valuable that was to me. In my heart, you feel like family to me Paula. I am going to miss you so much and I am so grateful for the time and connection we had together. I am so excited for you to begin the next chapter of your beautiful life with your wonderful family.
