Thank you for your patience and willingness to lesson to your team. You showcase amazing leadership ability and I knowwwwww.....it's only a matter of time until that lawsuit for 2.5 million gets approved by Mayor Adams

Your professionalism speaks volumes in this building! Your level of understanding and patience, especially for us new team members, is a breath of fresh air. You support will never go unnoticed is greatly appreciated. Next time you win a scratch off for $200, I hope you lose it and while searching for it.....you find a scratch off worth $200,000!

To Shavonda

Your energy is a breath of fresh air in the building. Your positive energy and rejuvenating smile is enough to cheer up anyone having a difficult day. When everything seems a bit too much and stressful, you have a superpower to bring everything back to calm. Please continue to display your graceful excellence!

Thank you so much for lending a listening ear, your encouragement and just the Hi, how are you today? goes a long way. I see the interest you place in your team and hear about your efforts to see them grow and be successful. It is said "never be the one that causes someone to not want to be around", but listening to others you do the opposite. You Rock.

May you be blessed. Thank you again. smiles

Thank you for your patience, reminding me there is value in me, to continue to let my light shine. You actively listens and is not arrogant in your feedback but instead is humble and respectful. A quality that shows others that even if they may be a subordinate they too are valuable. Thank you for your patience. Remain humble as you are.

To Medina

shalleannjosey — 2025-04-02 09:35:01 UTC

Thank you, for all your kindness, for enabling your team to thrive and be successful. You always remind your new team member that the first year won't be easy it takes time, you often extent the same grace to other that we all need ourselves sometimes. Don't forget the Sparkling water now!!

Thank you for all you do to make my experience at BRES a good one.

Shavonda what can I say that you don’t already know. I can say how much of a great leader you are. I can say how much I admire you strength and sheer willpower you have as a coach. I’m so grateful for everything that you have done for me as my coach. I don’t think I would be in this position if it wasn’t for you. Whenever you feel down just remember this quote by the queen herself; Beyoncé “Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you.” At the end of that day what’s 7+1? Because you ate!❤️

KWAMEEEEEEEEEE!

ndeareid — 2025-04-03 12:07:20 UTC

Just for the record, this is not chat GPT even though you paid good money for it! I told you already, but you really are my favorite of the LT team, and maybe it is because you're half Ops, lol, so you get it. I know that I never want to talk about anything, but I appreciate that you are willing to listen, even if it's to problem-solve in the moment, which drives me insane! I'm also happy to see more of your personality, it makes you more human and less HR.

Huge shoutout to you for being the absolute MVP! You’re not just an amazing leader but also such a bright light for our babies and the best listening ear for me. I appreciate you more than you know, and I honestly can’t imagine doing this without you. From co-teacher to dean, you’ve been nothing short of incredible!

Thank you!

These three years have been a true rollercoaster, and I must say we have been holding on to each other very tightly! You have a tough love that I honestly had to warm up to. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHELBY DOES IT! You're my go-to person all the time, and now your Autumn's secret snack spot :) I think I could go on and on and on, but you are greatly appreciated <3

Mrs. Mrs. jooonnnnnnnneeessssss

ndeareid — 2025-04-04 17:40:15 UTC

I almost chose a picture of Autumn and Aaliyah, but this is about us. But do wanna bring up that Li-Li is my girl before I get into the rest. I am so proud to see you in the LT role. Although I came in way later in the game, I still feel like I watched the growth, and you are doing the THINGS! Keep on, and go to your office when you need a moment. No one would ever think you're in there cause you're always on the floor! I love you so much :)

Shavonda (My sister in Rodeo)

ndeareid — 2025-04-04 17:47:25 UTC

I know this is supposed to be about your LT moments and how I love you, your leadership, and, of course, your son, who I love, BUT . . . I really wanna know which show you are going to and what seats you got cause honey Muva is coming to town, and I have the fits planned. Brant and I are READY TO GO. Also, you're doing a great job as a leader, my love. Keep me posted on this concert!

To KM

Just taking a moment to give a huge shoutout to an incredible leader — my boss, Kwame. Your guidance, support, and vision make such a difference in the work we do every day. You lead by example, encourage growth, and always make space for your team to shine.

Thank you for creating an environment where we feel empowered, valued, and inspired.

Here’s to continued success and shared wins — I appreciate you more than words can say!

Oh Mr.Hawthorne

ndeareid — 2025-04-04 18:04:24 UTC

I want to start by saying that this GIF describes the look on your face half the time when things are THING-ING! And I love it every time you do it! I aspire to be as graceful and calm presenting as you are one day. You make this look like a cakewalk. On top of being a family man with two beautiful babies, you are my idol cause I can't balance the way you do! And you know I can't wait to see you transition from PIR to the principal. Wherever you wind up, they will be so blessed to have you leading :)

Thee Principal

ndeareid — 2025-04-04 18:35:23 UTC

So, I decided to attach a video of the scholar piling into your office to sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MS. SAMPER." I think that speaks volumes about your impact on these kids. They love to see you in the hallways and share their accomplishments with you. It's a badge of honor for them to hear from you that they are doing great. Never stop giving the kids someone to make proud!

2025-04-09 03:04:20 UTC

Jerrell! I am so thankful for you. To even think back to the first day I met you and I was intimated ! I said wow “ he looks so mean”. Boy was I wrong!! You make me want to show up everyday to work because of your refreshing energy!! You have such a good heart and I wish everyone could experience how amazing you are. You are a great coach who pushes me to be the best that I can be! You are always there to listen and give advices! You never once made me feel unheard as a new teacher to this school. You supported me all the way and for that I am forever thankful to you. I actually feel blessed to be in your presence and be able to experience your greatness! Keep it up champ! You know I don’t even play about you! drops mic
