Alder has brought so many bright spots to my life...but you my friend are by far the brightest. Your dedication, and passion to education is truly inspiring. You are bringing so much positive change to education and to the children of our community. We are all so lucky to have you. All your hard work is truly changing education as we know it and the lives of so many. I am so proud of you.

mrodrigueztegerdal — 2020-09-07 05:34:58 UTC

The last five weeks of my residency have been nothing short of amazing. Even with all the challenges there have also been many ahhaaaa moments. Thank you for your continuous support, coaching me, raising the bar in education, and believing in me.

mrodrigueztegerdal — 2020-09-07 05:45:44 UTC

You are my girl!!!!

Maria!!!

mrodrigueztegerdal — 2020-09-07 05:46:19 UTC

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of you. You have been one of my biggest supporters. Sometimes when I have thoughts of giving up I think to myself what would Maria do in this situation. I know you would give me the biggest hug and tell me "you've got this". Your encouragement has been a huge blessing to me. Thank you for being so true to yourself, and for asking the hard questions. Thank you for giving me the knowledge which allows me to think twice about how I want to show up for my students.
Your students are so lucky to have a brave, intelligent and inspiring teacher like you.
