You have given so much to the students, staff, and community of LHS, and it's definitely time for you to take care of yourself and enjoy some golf rounds whenever it strikes your fancy. At the same time, we will miss you so much. Your dedication to LHS shown through all of your activities, your four daughters who graduated, and your support of all of us as teachers is irreplaceable. Thank you for sharing your talents and yourself with all of us. We are better because of you. And make sure that you keep in touch!

Not a lot of us left here. Sorry to see you go but I know you will keep busy and enjoy your kids and their families. Come back and see us - keep us updated on your body tats and your facial hair styles - keep reinventing yourself in other words, because many of us are too afraid to do so...I will really miss seeing you every day and getting that fist pump.

You've had a great career, had a positive impact on so many kids and adults alike.  That is something to be celebrated and looked back on with satisfaction!
I really appreciate the camaraderie, the friendship, the listening ear over the years.  You've been a rock and I am grateful to have known you.
Take care and Happy Trails!!!!

Anyway, I feel like we were just getting started on an awesome partnership, but as you know, once a teacher, always a teacher. I am sure you will find things to do with your new free time. There are plenty of fish in the sea who need mentors, advocates, leadership, a sounding board, and good vibes all around! I (we) will definitely miss seeing you in school every day once we all get to go back, but you aren't going anywhere. It is great to know you are only a phone call or text away. Take care. Enjoy life. Wallow in the blessings.

And those fist bumps! As a teacher at the beginning of her career, I have looked up to you, and your deep passion for this profession. And during this incredibly challenging time in education, knowing that you cared so much about your fellow teachers meant a lot to me. Not to mention the compassion you always have for every student in front of you. You are a true gem in this profession. So as hard as this is to say, best of luck on this next journey, you have certainly earned every minute of it.

Not only did I enjoy having you as my chemistry and marine ecology teacher but you inspired me and sparked an interest to continue learning  chemistry and biology in college. Everything worked out exactly how it needed to and I was able to come full circle and return back at LHS. Working along side you was short lived but I enjoyed every moment and I appreciated every time you took the time to ask how I was doing. 

Enjoy your retirement and CONGRATULATIONS!

Know that the first few episodes of "what have I done" will soon fade away into "this is great!" I had the privilege to work with the best and the brightest at Littleton High School over the decades, and you were certainly among the very best. Every aspect of LHS is going to miss you, but not least of all the kids. Your connections, kindness, and caring will stay with them the rest of their lives. I know they will with me. Enjoy a well earned retirement buddy, and the next beer(s) are on me.
