Thank you for being an inspiration to our community. I really appreciate your responsiveness, kindness and support. I admire the way you seemingly took off running in your new role, in spite of all the obstacles presented by the epidemic. Those are some seriously strong shoulders and an immense heart that you have. I imagine future generations will remember and recount how you signed up to be our School Nurse in the middle of the COVID 19 Epidemic!
I don't know how you did it. But, I'm really glad that you did. Thank you for joining us. It is a pleasure to partner with you in support of our students.

Lizzy, Tirza, and Kelsey

2021-05-04 21:36:25 UTC

Thank you for all the support you give to my students and I. You are all really great partners to work with and you've really made a great impact with my students this year! I look forward to sharing updates about student growth.

Juan Lopez

2021-05-04 22:12:23 UTC

Thanks for making yourself so available and responsive and for keeping our ship afloat. You are a really great partner and always help us meet our students needs. I also kindly appreciate how you are able to inevitably solve every technical problem that I've ever experienced at Apollo. Is it technological mastery or genius wizardry? I'm not sure, but you are really great at what you do!

Mrs. Levine

2021-05-04 22:23:09 UTC

You are amazing and I haven't seen you in such a long time that I've wrapped up a hug and gently sealed it inside this Bulldog Bone. I miss you from here to the Moon!

Danielle

Thank you for offering me your assistance and helping during one of our parent teacher conferences. As you helped problem solve while sharing your knowledge it also became a valuable learning experience for me. I now feel much better equipped to ask parents about sleeping patterns to address a wider variety of symptomatic behaviors. Who knew sleep was so important? Thank you for being a great partner to work with.

Thank you for always sharing your big bucket of empathy with the Apollo Community! Thanks too for fostering an environment where our students are full of so much joy when they get to see you. I think it is because they know that you really see them and get to know them and who they are. You are really great at building relationships! I admire that so much in you. You're also really fun and kind, knowledgeable and wise beyond your years! Thank you for continuing to support us each year!

Sam

2021-05-05 22:41:36 UTC

You make me feel important every time we talk. You have a keenly refined talent of always finding a way to sneak in an uplifting compliment or something hilarious that makes our students and me smile. You are always filling up tires, maybe tying some shoes too. Thanks for doing that so well for our kids and for teachers too! One moment I might be walking down the hallway and bam, out of nowhere comes Sam with her wheelbarrel scooping me up and carrying me along. Thank you!

Chitra and Michelle

In Math you wield the unique ability to help others see the forest through the trees Our conversations have made me a better teacher. Thank you!

Janelle

2021-05-06 00:34:52 UTC

Thanks for growing together with me as a teammate! I am looking forward to having an amazing finish to our new team's first year together. You've helped three new teammates at the same time to navigate their first complete years in fifth grade, during a pandemic. That is a remarkable achievement. I look forward to sharing your load and continuing our journey and growth together!

Thank you for mentoring me when I was a young cub in 1st Grade. I will never forget that the only charge you have ever given me for your Master Lessons has always been "Pay it forward" and "Help the next new teachers coming up behind you." Thank you for being such a great leader, for leading by example and for being the owner of a really giant heart! Thanks for being my Momma Bear!
