Thank you for being my vault! You helped me so much both last year and this year, and I've always appreciated your willingness to stop whatever you're doing and listen. You are the best WOO person around, and I wish you the best next year!

To say I'm going to miss you is a HUGE understatement! You have been the greatest mentor and an even better friend! You are full of WOO, and our team won't be the same without you! Students, teachers, and other peers have been so positively impacted by your work. I know that impact will be long lasting, and now you will have even more students whose lives will be made richer by you. You are one-of-a-kind, my friend! Luv ya!!

I've learned so much from you in the last SIX YEARS! Secondary is such a different world and I am amazed that we were able to be such a huge support to one another! I have loved being a Peer Consultant with you. I loved sharing an office and I'm going to miss all of your funny stories. You always had time to listen to me babble about something or another: personal, professional, or just plain silly! Our team is stronger because you've been a guiding light. I am a better person because we've been friends and colleagues! Good luck on your next big adventure.

My dear Lola... You are the ORIGINAL rock star and I am so thankful that you got stuck with me this year. :) I seriously would not have made it through this year without you and I am SO EXCITED for you to go back to the classroom! Those kids won't know what hit them, but they will love you for your craziness... eventually. They always do. <3

Lola, I have missed you tons this year. Honestly, I do not know what I would have done

without you my first few years of teaching. You clearly have made an impact on so many

teacher's classrooms and lives. Can't wait to hear what going back to the classroom brings you!!

Much love! :)

Lola,

As a transition to teaching teacher, your positive feedback and constant support was so valuable. I was lucky to have you and you really helped me decide that the choice to be a teacher was the right one. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your return to the classroom, and I know the students will be as positively impacted by you as the teachers you have mentored were!

Lola you are the REAL rockstar! You brighten up a room as soon as you walk in with all your positive energy. I will miss your surprise visits next year and our little meetings.

Lola, you are so amazing. My first couple of years

were great because of you. You made me feel that

I could approach you with any and every issue and get

positive feedback. Thank you so much for teaching me

not to dance with my students. The students that will have

you this next year are very fortunate.

Pola! What will I do without you? Thank you for welcoming me to the Peer Consultant Team. You were always looking out for me, giving me the honest truth and making sure that I wasn't "really really dumb". I am going to miss seeing you. :( You have helped me more than you will ever know. I hope one day I am full of WOO like you. Love ya!

Sarah C

2013-05-20 17:10:57 UTC

You were an awesome help to me my first year teaching! I

couldn't have made it through without you. So often people

have asked me where I got "this idea" or
"that idea"..and most of them came from you! You've touched

so many teachers it's amazing and you are very appreciated! Enjoy

your journey back to the classroom :).

Thanks!

2013-05-20 19:42:15 UTC

Thank for putting up with me!

Best wishes in the classroom

next year. Kind Regards, Lyndon

Lola, I'm not sure that words can express how thankful I am that you were allowed to be my mentor teacher. I know there was more than one time that you were in my room that first year that you single handedly saved my class. Your help and guidance were such a blessing and I still look back on that time and realize just how lucky I was to have you there. Good luck this fall, your students are going to be thrilled that you are back in the classroom.

Lola, thank you so much for helping me get thru my first year and your continued support as I close my 6th year of teaching. Your words of support were invaluable to me when I was just getting my feet wet in the land of learning. I also appreciated your continued support over the six years. The emails sent with helpful tips and information. I have a Lola folder on my H drive with goodies from you. You are an amazing lady. The students at Southeast are blessed to have you coming back into the classroom. Thank you again for everything!! I will miss you.

Lola - you are like a mustache with.. oh wait, never mind.

Thank you for your humor, flexibility and honesty. You are just the type of person my type A personality needs around for balance. Your realistic viewpoint is refreshing and I know all the teachers you have mentored through the years appreciate this about you. Thank you for adding hundreds of reasons to my no kids checklist. Your students will love you - the people you work with will love you - and we, we will miss you.

Well, my friend, you have been such a calm

inspiration for me. You help soothe all my fears,

and taught me to believe in myself.

You will be just as wonderful in the classroom and now

you will get the chance to help yourstudents believe that

they too are the best and can succeed.

Thank you so much for all the help and encouragement you gave me my first year of teaching. I have appreciated all the emails you have passed on giving ideas for the classroom or simply just because it was interesting. I wish you the best as you return to the classroom next year. The students will be gaining an exceptional teacher. You will be missed in the world of Peer Consultants.

Lola- Thank you ever so much for all your support, encouragement, friendship

and logic. It was always a sigh of relief from me when I would see you!

If it weren't for you, I would have given up on this new career. I appreciate

all you have done for me and so many new teachers. Thanks to you I survived my

first year of teaching. I have become a better teacher because of you!

I wish you all the best in your new adventures!

Thank you so much for being patient and for constantly trying to help me improve. I wasn't always easy to assist or very flexible but you kept trying anyway. Thank you. It has helped me move beyond what I am comfortable doing. I have a long ways to go but you moved me miles further than I could have by myself. Good luck at Southeast and I look forward to seeing you at the Common Core trainings.

Thank you for your support during my transition to the district. Your students are lucky:) I enjoyed our lunch and day of observations. Your helpful and resourceful emails brightened my days. I am glad I was able to experience your consulting days!!!!

Thanks again.

Lola- You are AMAZING! I have greatly appreciated all of your wisdom,

resources, and listening skills :-) You have been so encouraging on both a

professional and personal level. I know for a fact that many of my successful

moments stem from things you taught me or resources you shared.

I'll be praying for your transition back into the classroom...you're students are

lucky to have you!!!

I have gained multiple tools for education from Lola. She is a phenomenal peer consultant who obviously was (and is) a master teacher.

I cannot express my thanks for helping, listening and taking extra time to work with me anytime I needed it.

Iam fortunate to have worked with you and gained a new friend out of the last

three years. Best wishes, and I expect an email here and there! :)

Lola, You always stop by and say "Hi", I will miss that. I hope you enjoy being back with students. You are the kind of teacher I wish my kids would have had. You are so up beat and happy all of the time. Don't become a stranger, come back and see us. I feel very fortunate for having the opportunity to work with you. :-) I will miss you!!

I want the barbie cheer! You have been a great leader and role model to not only new teachers but your colleagues and fellow educators. NTI will not be the same without you. It has been a pleasure to work with you and to now call you "amiga"! Stay out of trouble and stay in touch.
