From invites to PDs to related services to literally all things special services, you regularly go above and beyond to support the LS team with the MOST consistent follow up -- and I'm incredibly thankful for your endless support.

I appreciate all of the ways that you embody the determination to reset and relaunch programming in service of what is best for kids -- and AFBA is better because of it. Thank you for all that you do to make the GR world go around!

You work so closely with families to ensure that team is aligned and ready to dig into the work! Thank you for all of the ways that you show up for AFBA every single day!

Thank you for your incredible partnership.

You've stepped in to teach, supported new teachers as they've come in and kept a positive, realistic attitude. It's refreshing and invigorating to visit AFBA and see you al, and all the good work you're doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You know how to support kids, you're thoughtful in your interactions with teachers and you've stepped in to handle a lot! Thank you for doing all that you do, and continue to support and make Bridgeport better :D

You're teaching, your developing new PD sequences, you're being thoughtful about how to best support scholars and develop teachers and you're hungry to learn yourself. Thank you for all that you do and all thought you keep pushing for!

What can I say that you don't already know? You have made AFBA better at a time when everything is harder. You have gone into battle to fight for what is right for your kids. And importantly, you've kept your head about you through it all. It has been great working with you and watching you grow over the past several years; I hope you take some time this week to feel extra-appreciated.

I am so impressed by your standard and belief in what's possible for the scholars at AFBA. You have worn so many hats this year and taken on so much all in service of students. Every interaction you have with scholars embodies what it means to lead with love while at the same time pushing them to be their best. Thank you for your incredible service to the Bridgeport community. I appreciate you!!!!

I hope you are enjoying your time with your baby, and I'm looking forward to your return so we can work together some more!

You provided and continue to provide a lot of selfless help and guidance. Although the year has been difficult, it was full of heartwarming moments: and bright spots across your school. It is during difficult times where we know what leaders are made of; you remained an example of positivity, clear long-term thinking, and rational action, throughout the ups and downs. I am very lucky to have you on my team and I look forward to finishing a strong year with you at the helm.  - Khush]]> 2022-02-15 19:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/TeamAcademicOps/ngdimffxeerljqh3/wish/2049449813 TeamAcademicOps https://padlet.com/TeamAcademicOps/ngdimffxeerljqh3/wish/2051242695 2022-02-16 16:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/TeamAcademicOps/ngdimffxeerljqh3/wish/2051242695 TeamAcademicOps https://padlet.com/TeamAcademicOps/ngdimffxeerljqh3/wish/2051275939 2022-02-16 16:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/TeamAcademicOps/ngdimffxeerljqh3/wish/2051275939
