Wendy, congrats on your retirement. It's hard to believe we joined the InstructTech Team on the same day 11 years ago; day one at the East Region Office. We had no idea what we were getting into 😆. I hope you enjoy your time post-APS. Take me with you. 🤣 I'm too far behind you, I hope. 🤞 You deserve it! Take care! - Jen

Wendy, you were one of the first teammates I shadowed when I came on board. Thank you for that and for setting me up for success on the team. You've always been a source of wisdom and peace and I've always appreciated the fact that we can talk as frankly as we do about things both work-realted and not. When the world went insane, we would talk reguglarly and those conversations meant so much to me. Thank you for that. Enjoy your next episodes and I can't wait to see what you have planned. Thank you and congrats!

-Jimmy

I can't even begin to list all the ways you've kept me sane, laughing, and productive all these years. You were an excellent addition to the team and to all of our lives. I don't plan on saying goodbye because I know we'll see one another as we move through our next episodes! Thank you for everything.

Ruben, I wish you well in your retirement and I want to say thank you for the years of friendship we've shared in this position. We had our share of adventures and tomfoolery - I remeber a ride-along from the first week or two of coming onto the team that still makes me grin and set a strong tone for the remainder of these years we've worked together. I can't thank you enough for everything.

-Jimmy

I feel like this picture is how you will walk out of here on your last day! After 30 years of shaping minds and hearts, it’s time to trade lesson plans for beach plans! Your legacy as an educator is one of passion, patience, and purpose, and now, it’s your turn to enjoy the sunshine, the waves, and the people who matter most.

You’ve given so much to your students and your colleagues in this field, and now you get to give that same energy to rest, laughter, and family memories. We’ll miss your wisdom, but we’re so excited for the new adventures ahead of you.

Here’s to sandy toes, sunrises with coffee, sunsets with wine, and well-deserved peace. Congratulations and thank you for everything!

xoxo,

Guys! Guys! Congratulations on an incredible career spanning over 20 years in education! Your dedication, wisdom, and steady presence have made a lasting impact, not just on students and staff, but on all of us lucky enough to work beside you and with you.

More than a coworker, you've been a trusted teammate and a true friend. Your humor (lots of it), your truth telling :) your heart, and your ability to keep things real (especially on the tough days) will be deeply missed. My life is better because you were in it, and so are all of us.

Here’s to well-earned rest, new adventures, and the freedom to enjoy each day on your terms. Cheers to the next chapter, you’ve more than earned it.

To My Work Brother (Ruben),

After 20 years of working together, laughing through chaos, and surviving meetings that should’ve been emails—we’ve finally reached your big exit. I always knew this day would come, but I didn’t think it would get here so fast (or hit this hard).

You’ve been more than a coworker—you’ve been my work brother. We've shared stories, side-eyes, and moments that no one else would believe... and some we’re absolutely taking to the grave. 😆 Whether we were crying, laughing in the middle of a meeting or encouraging each other to “get it together” just one more time, every day with you on the team made the work feel a little lighter.

You brought the real talk, and the kind of support that kept me going when things got tough. Now it's your turn to sleep in, dodge the calendar invites, and live life like it is Golden. I love you, brother. Wishing you health, wealth, and all the joy this next chapter has to offer. You’ve more than earned it. Now go make retirement look good!

With all my respect (and all our inside jokes)

Love, Jan

🎉 RETIREMENT CELEBRATION TIME! 🎉
After years of laughs, love, and legendary teamwork, my work bestie—my Thelma to my Louise—is officially retiring! 🚗💨💖

We’ve been through it all together: tech emergencies, countless school visits, laughing until we cry, finishing each other’s sentences, and yes… occasionally getting into “just a little” trouble 😅. Though you supported elementary and I supported high school, we always had each other’s backs—no matter what.

You are not just a coworker; you are a friend for life! While our daily adventures in Instructional Tech may be coming to an end, our friendship is forever. 💫

So here’s to naps instead of meetings, wine instead of emails, and a well-deserved break after a career filled with impact, kindness, and unforgettable memories.

Love you always, friend! 💕
