All three of these ladies are gifted teachers....each one gave 100+% to their students every single day, loved what they were doing and touched the lives of hundreds of students over the years. It is a true honor to know each one of them and to acknowledge what a tremendous impact they had in the field of education, on children and on other educators. Thanks ladies for all you did for sooooo many children, for fellow teachers and for me! YOU ROCK!
Now, it's time for their "New Adventure"!!! So ladies, welcome to the club!!!
You Live On!
You live on in days retired,
In the pupils that you inspired,
You lit the flame they carry high,
Now see it over the world fly.

You live on in parent's hearts,
Together well you did your parts,
To see with growing satisfaction,
Training up this generation.

You live on in student's lives,
Who have become husbands, wives,
Some are parents with children dear,
You have a part, deserve our cheer.

You live on for generations,
What you teach is building nations.
The seed you've been busy sowing,
Will day by day keep on growing.

You live on in memory deep.
Your legacy is what we'll keep.
If every church needs a preacher,
Every person needs a teacher.

How hard it is the right words find.
To thank you for your work done well,
Where it will end, can scarcely tell.

You're an angel, a shining star,
May your light shine near and far.

Thanks so much Debbie. I can't think of anyone more deserving of these wonderful thoughts than you, my friend. A truly gifted and dedicated educator. I am privileged to have had an opportunity to work with you, if only for a brief time. I came away a better person and educator for that experience. My congrats to our friends who are joining us.. "Let the wild rumpus begin!!!"

Now, let the "good times roll"!
