You're one the funniest people I've ever met. I appreciate how you have been unapologetically yourself on our team both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for all that do you for our kids to make math come to light. Feel like I may have been better at math if you had been my teacher lol. My favorite memory of you is watching you teach reflections(?) to kids. It was hysterical. In addition to being hilarious, you've been a true friend.
