"Who pooped in the urinal?"
"Staff... there are a few unfilled vacancies today..." and many, many more.

Thank you, Nikki.  It has been a pleasure to work with you, learn from you and laugh with you at the things that might otherwise make us cry.
You have been a great source of knowledge, professional advice and support.  I have always been amazed at your ability to stay strong, rebound and learn from everything that comes your way.  
You have a gift for reaching the students in any way possible... the E-Announcements photos/messages were my personal fave. I especially love the ones dedicated to Room 215!  
Your new schools will be fortunate to have you on board.  Wishing you only the best and please stay in touch.

You've raised the bar with your dedication to the E-announcements, newsletters, social media accounts, staff meetings and so much more. Your kindness has helped to build the climate at Thornwood through your positive messages around the school and the warmth you spread; I still love the sweatshirts!
