Wow! You have played so many roles and worn so many hats in your time at Wheeler! You are such a great advocate for our students and do so many great things! Can I still send my HAL kids to you? LOL!

I can't believe I am writing this to you. I really go into denial when my friends move on to new adventures, so you will also be part of that group. I am just pretending that you are still in your room! You have done SO MUCH for the kids and teachers at Wheeler. You gave so much! I appreciate all you have done for me as a teacher and as a friend. I thank you for all our chats and all your support you gave me over the years! Always keep in touch Kate!
Love, Patty

Kate I am going to really miss our conversations!! You have always been there to help me with the higher learners (definitely my weakness) by providing resources, ideas and examples of what I could do. But most importantly you offered grace through all my stumbling. I will miss you so much! But I am excited for this opportunity that gives you more time to teach your passion! Good luck, Kate! Elkhorn is getting an awesome teacher!!

Good luck Kate!

I can’t imagine Wheeler without you there! That will be so strange next year. :( First I don’t get to chat with you over my back fence anymore, now this? Not ok. Elkhorn is so lucky to snag you. Best of luck in your new role!!!

Kate-I am so very excited for you and your new endeavor! You will leave behind some big ol' shoes to fill at Wheeler. Your passion, dedication, & rigor are like no other! You & I have spent many hours outside of school watching our boys play baseball together and we even managed to plan several fun road trips. We've been through a lot and I'm so thankful you are my friend!

We will miss you so much at Wheeler! I'm so thankful that both of my girls had an opportunity to work with you! You helped instill a confidence in Sophia that has been invaluable as she's moved on to middle school math and we will always be grateful for the hard work and countless hours you have poured into your work with kids! The HAL program in Elkhorn is incredibly lucky to have you on board next year! Best wishes in your new role!

Next year just won't be the same without you. I am very happy for you and your new journey through teaching and know Elkhorn is getting a driven, passionate and committed staff member. I will treasure all of our long talks, all the ways I have grown from working with you and that you were always there when I needed anything. I wish you the very best, Kate, and I am sure it won't take you long to make Elkhorn your home away from home as Wheeler was for you. I'll miss you.
