You are so kind and compassionate especially when students are in trouble, and you never make them feel like they are bad people. You are patient, you are so smart, and you are one of the hearts of the school. I have also loved working with you on the Service Learning picture books.  Remember, don't let the pigeon drive the bus!

You're one of the most patient and kind teachers I've ever had. You've taught me since 7th grade, and I always see you explain topics clearly and slowly to students who don't understand some ideas, including myself. Math has being a topic that's fun to explore and learn more about all thanks to you. You're willing to take our questions outside of class to research, and I can tell how good of a teacher you truly are. I hope you have a fantastic retirement!

I know I wasn't the best behaved in class, but I would like you to know that I have so much respect for you.

As a new kid in the 6th grade in a class full of kids who were older than me, you always looked out for me and made sure I was never behind both socially and academically. In the 8th grade with a much smaller class, you still managed to make the class both fun and worthwhile, a hard task for a math class. From the llama song to your generous supply of mints, the memories I have made in your class will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for everything you've done, and I wish you the best retirement ever!

Thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher and mentor to me -- when I came to math class, I always looked forward to the unique kindness you showed us students and the feeling of friendship that you fostered. Thank you once again!
Sincerely,
Maria Cheriyan]]> 2018-06-04 17:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ctabaka/mrs_leybourn/wish/265451332 https://padlet.com/ctabaka/mrs_leybourn/wish/265457035 I am so thankful that both Hannah and Maria had the opportunity to be taught by you! Thank you for inspiring them to delve in the abstract realms of Algebra and igniting their passion for Math. Your thorough teaching methods, your patience and helpful advice certainly made a mark on both of them. We will miss you ! We wish you the very best and pray for God's richest blessing for you, With love and prayers.

You have been my inspiration, my role model, my mentor, my friend. Your grace, integrity, sensitivity, humility, professionalism and dedication like no other, have contributed more than you can ever imagine to the Country Day we know and love today. Over the years, we have enjoyed the opportunity to teach together, but more importantly, we have shared the joys and tribulations of life's journey. From births and graduations to illness and loss of loved ones, I have always known that you understood and shared in these moments. Trips to the zoo with babes in strollers, summertime boat rides and fireworks, countless football and lacrosse games - many of my fondest family memories include you! I do have to admit that "Pasta Friday's" for all those hungry boys will remain high in my fondest of memories. I will be forever grateful for all you have taught me, truly inspiring me to be the person I am today. I will not say goodbye but look forward to a summer stroll at the zoo with Vivian and Skye. 

With deep gratitude, love and prayers for God's continued blessings, Jane xo
