You stand outside and greet the students, you are present at meetings with parents lending ideas on additional programs and ways we can help. You communicate so well all the constant changes that have become our way of life. And you have navigated COVID protocols so well that have created the most opportunity for kids to stay in school as possible. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do. We are lucky to have you on the team! ]]> 2021-11-11 17:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1884784275 Gratitude https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1884794258 Thank you, Mike for your warm and calm presence.

The word "challenge" doesn't even begin to describe it, yet you showed up, communicated clearly, encouraged greetings and support, and provided fantastic leadership at the school this year. We cannot thank you enough. I especially appreciated the recording of Gator News each week. Virtual high five from the Remicks! - Jill, Jesse and Natalie Remick https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1884885662 2021-11-11 18:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1884885662 Thank you! skononan https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1885195649 Mr. Berry,

Thank you for all the kindness and support you provided our family as the Virtual Academy Principal last year. Additionally, thank you for your leadership as the Interim Principal this fall. You do a fantastic job of wearing many hats and wearing them all well. MRPS is very fortunate to have you. Hopefully, "just" doing your "real job" won't feel boring to you now!  

All my best,

You have been an important part of our district these past 2 years. My favorite thing about you is the way you communicate with the students and families. I can't say enough about this. You make sure anything, big or small, is communicated to the MRPS community. You respond quickly and kindly, it's honest and transparent. You're an outstanding leader and MRPS is lucky to have you on their team. Best wishes for the rest of the school year!]]> 2021-11-11 22:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1885237605 What a ride! https://padlet.com/msmsinfo/a0vv2ian9m61p5pm/wish/1886830217 Your patience, kindness, forbearance, and humor in the face of the tsunami this year's been are nothing short of hyperbole.
