I have had the opportunity to work with so many of you over the past 9 years and I have learned something from each one of you. This is truly the best group of people I have ever worked with. During this past year I have been amazed at how dedicated the staff has been to learning new technology and strategies to help our students succeed in this environment. More importantly I am always impressed by the gift of time that so many of you give our students to help them be successful.

To my special education family and intervention team,

2020-11-30 21:02:17 UTC

Thanks for constantly working around the clock to help support our neediest, and at times, most challenging kids. Even though our work days seem never-ending and the struggle is SO real on an hour by hour basis, I couldn't imagine a W.M.S world without each and every one of you! Couldn't imagine a better team to laugh with, scheme with, and at times, lament with.

And to everyone on my team that puts up with me on the regular- thank you for dedicating your time and energy into teaching our kids while juggling three monitors, differentiating multiple leveled lessons while reading aloud AND checking for engagement. YOU, my friends, are amazing!

Tess

To all my wonderful colleagues at WMS

2020-11-30 23:54:05 UTC

The last two years here at WMS have been some of the most rewarding of my career. I have never worked with a more caring bunch of teachers and administrators…especially the 8th grade team. They support you when you are down, listen to you when you are frustrated, and cheer you on when the good stuff happens. I will miss all of you. Stay well, keep lifting each other up, and take pride in all that you do for the children of Region 14. You are the best of the best! - Maria

As I sit and reflect on what to say I am not at a loss for words but rather at a loss for the "right" words. I have always felt fortunate to work here at WMS. The teachers are some of the most talented, caring, hardworking, and dedicated that I know. As for our administration, Bill and Suzi - I am often grateful for your leadership, your calm energy and ability to make everything look "easy". To my support staff team, I appreciate each of you on a daily basis and the time and energy that you put in to the needs of our students here at WMS. I couldn't think of a better place to work. Thank you to everyone!
