Thank you for the discussion last night on Why Do All the Black Kids Sit Together. I left feeling energized and thankful for your willingness to dig deep into this very complex topic.

Thank you for leading the recent PL on managing a virtual classroom in GoGuardian. Following that session I heard, "I never knew I could..." from several staff members!

Jo Comerford -

jlambert123_1 — 2020-11-25 12:00:08 UTC

I had a staff member go out of her way this week to share with me how grateful she is to have you supporting her classroom. She is not the first staff member to provide this type of feedback. Your active engagement with the students, flexibility and optimism are incredibly appreciated.

Ginnie and the Merry Band of Teacher-Elves!

Thank you for continuing the tradition of gratitude letters. It's such a special part of our school identity; while giving a well-timed token of staff appreciation, it also teaches our students the value of expressing gratitude.

I am so Thankful to work with you two. I appreciate the way you diffuse crises, build bridges between families and school, and always bring optimism. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Enjoy the time with your loved ones-

To Ken and Mary, aka, my music fam:

jbocola — 2020-11-25 13:01:08 UTC

You guys are so great to work with! Working alongside you both at MKMS these past several years has been so fun! It's rare to find a workplace where you can enjoy the work AND the work colleagues, but you guys are it for me! THANK YOU for putting up with my ridiculous ideas, requests, complaints, and general nonsense. The three of us truly run a "well oiled machine." (Remember that? #drama #haha #dreamteam)

TO MKMS!

jbocola — 2020-11-25 13:03:59 UTC

I often find myself bragging about the passionate, creative, and energetic folks who make up our glorious staff. Thank you to everyone who teachers like their subject is the most important (TRULY!), and who works to make this building and the people inside a real community. Happy Thanksgiving all! <3 :)

TO MKMS FAMILY:

2020-11-25 13:06:16 UTC

I wish you all a great Thanksgiving. I know this has been a crazy time but take a few minutes to reflect on how lucky you are...a great family, health, happiness and employment. In the immortal words of someone very close to me said "this to shall pass".
Get some rest!!!

Allison & Marissa

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Ive never encountered a school as special as this one. It's really is a place that warms my heart, where people care about one another, and go above and beyond for the students. I feel blessed to be a part of this environment and want to thank you all for making me feel welcomed here. You are all truly amazing and I am very appreciative for each and every day that I am here!

Thank you for managing the day-to-day running of the building so smoothly, especially with the extra challenges this month has brought. Also, thank you for finally dropping a swear word in my presence, so that now I feel like I can do the same. :)

To Mike Dean-

2020-11-25 13:23:13 UTC

Thank you so much for taking such good care of your Life Skills staff. Technology is not my strength, and your patient help has made teaching on the computer doable for me. In addition, you set things up on your Google classroom to make it as easy as possible for me. In addition, the Life Skills students and parents are blessed to have you! On Thanksgiving, I am thankful to work with you.

Thank you so much for your flexibility this year. Each day you come in and are unsure of where or who you will be working with. You're always willing to work with any student with no hesitation. The students are very lucky to have such dedicated tutors like you guys.

Thank you so much!

I hope you know we all see how incredibly hard you work! We also know that this year, your work doesn't stop at the end of the school day. Thank you for making us feel safe, for keeping your door open to ask questions and reassuring us during this time of uncertainty.

Through all the craziness of the past year, one thing always remains constant and that is that I am surrounded by kind, creative, talented, and fun people in the halls of MK. There is definitely something special about the staff here. I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. May you all find that extra time to relax, unwind and do something you love just for you.

Rossella

lbaylock — 2020-11-25 14:24:57 UTC

Thanks for hooking me up with amazing masks and awesome shirts. Thanks for always being my go-to girl when I am clueless about what is happening around here. Thanks for making me laugh....oh....and thanks for being an awesome role model with technology. You rock! Happy Thanksgiving!

So Thankful of being surrounded by a loving group of people, that always is willing to go far and beyond.

Counseling Staff/Administration

sfenton7_1 — 2020-11-25 15:00:10 UTC

I can't express how much your thoughtful perks have meant to me. The box lunch, awesome personalized playlist, encourage-mints, coffee, lottery ticket, soup and sandwich, breakfast and other surprises came right when I needed a boost and put big smiles on my face. Feeling appreciated puts wind beneath our wings. Thanks for the love, caring, support ...and helping us soar.

Mary Udice and Sue Emmerson

acucinella1_1 — 2020-11-25 15:19:29 UTC

Still so Thankful

2020-11-25 17:11:31 UTC
