You are going to an Ah-mazing High School Principle (even if it is at Parkside #clipperforlife) Thank you for being honest, straight forward, kind, clear in you expectations, fair and organized. You are the visionary and leader that made coming back to the classroom an easy transition. I promise not to grade my own papers.

Thank you so much for everything. You welcomed me into this school, someone with zero teaching experience, and trusted me with the students that you care so much for. I've learned so much from you and am the teacher I am because of you. I'm so sad that you are leaving but I'm excited for the steps your taking in your life and career. Parkside is so luck to be getting such an amazing leader and educator. <3

Good Luck!

edill4 — 2021-06-16 15:52:39 UTC

Tara,

Thank you so much for all your leadership support. I had so many questions this year and you answered them with kindness and support. I don't feel I would've made it through my first year without such an organized, professional, kind, respectful principal. I loved having you as our principal and PHS is so lucky to be getting you next year. I wish you the best of luck!!

:(

You have gone out of your way to make me, as a traveling teacher, feel welcome in the building. For that I will forever be grateful.

Thank you for being you while trying your best for the staff and students.

You will be great at PHS as always! You will be missed dearly by us! Thank you again for everything!

I just want to thank you for always giving me your ear and for your fairness as a leader. Your kindness has been the glue here at WiMiddle, and I'm sorry to see you go. I'm very happy that my crazy daughter, Eliz, was with you at Parkside, and Ela will be with you in a year. Knowing you will be there is such a comfort to me.

OMG!!!!! i am truly going to miss you! You have taught me so much and I will never forget you. You have done so much for Wicomico Middle students, staff, families and community members. It will never be forgotten! Take care!!!

Words can not express our sincere gratitude for the leader you have been to us. It has truly been an honor to sit and learn under your tutelage. When you hired us, it was our fresh start. You guided us with grace through a historical pandemic and gave us practical tools to navigate our own self-care. You pushed us all to be greater and definately set the standard as a great role model that we could pattern ourselves after. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you. You will be greatly missed. Our loss is definately thier gain. We are wishing you much success on your new journey!
