Thank you Ms. Linda for being such a beautiful, loving, kind, and supportive soul. You constantly go above and beyond for students, parents, and staff in need. We are all so lucky to know you, and even luckier to call you a friend. Even though you don't do anything for the recognition, you deserve all the praise in the world!

Thank you for being so patient and kind. You go above and beyond to make sure that we are all learning and doing our best work. You make school fun. Even though I'm remote learning, you make me feel like an important part of our classroom. You deserve all of the praise and thanks! We appreciate you!

As a relatively new employee at the District Office, I want to express my deep appreciation for the "front line of education during Covid"--teachers and staff. This really hit home when a co-worker described how their husband, who works in custodial services, comes home late all the time from work and is always worried about the kids and other staff. He feels the pressure of trying to eradicate the virus from the learning environment every day, and each day is a new battle against it. A campus supervisor told me how strongly he felt that kids should be in school, and was more than willing to assume some risk to play his part in that process. These are trying times, and there are no easy answers to the problems we face. Without schools, and the myriad of ways that they improve the lives of students and families, I shudder to think how much would be lost for our students, especially those that struggle during the best of times.
Hang in there, and know that the work you are doing really matters.

Thank you Heidi! You are an amazing teacher and very much appreciated! Thank for going above and beyond in this crazy school year.

Miss Atkinson,

Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable and safe in your classroom. I really love your Monsters and all of the "duckies" I get to earn and bring home. Thank you for all of your hard work and making us all feel special. You're working hard and we know it isn't easy. We thank you so much and are so thankful for you. Hopefully, you find 1,000 reasons to smile!

Thank You,

Mar

Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I am blessed to be able to work with such dedicated, selfless, committed teachers in my building. You give up your time to help out when needed, you spend countless hours planning, reteaching, zooming, meeting and collaborating. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thank you for keeping our children and our families safe and thriving.

We see you and we love you!

Mrs. Branum and staff at Hill are just doing an amazing job with everything. Mrs. Branum really sees the kids in her class and is very supportive and encouraging and Mila is enjoying school so much this year. Thank you for all that you do each day to help our children grow and learn.

- Mila

Mrs. Satterly is an amazing teacher and was an excellent co-worker. She will be a brilliant coordinator someday... but, for the sake of future generations I hope she doesn't leave the classroom any time soon.

You are a natural teaching talent Jenna.

- Dr. Kale Riley

Ms. Esterner, Thank you for being my teacher. You are fun and cool.

- Anonymous 

Thank you for your love and support for students and staff! You all are simply the BEST!

Mr. Northouse's patience inside and outside the classroom as well as his gift for teaching and relationship building are an inspiration to others. Jonathan makes those around him better just by being himself. I learned more about teaching working next door to him than I did in years of college classes.

Thank you for your service to youth and teachers alike.

- Dr. Kale Riley

A big thank you to the wonderful teachers who always put their students first and change lives for the better every day.

- Janet & Rich Labenz

I want to thank Mrs. Painter for being an amazing teacher to our kindergartener. We really appreciate all the hard work you put into teaching our students! You do a wonderful job!

Mr. Schumacher, Thank you for coaching this fall and helping me improve throughout my first season of football.

- Caleb

You make us incredibly proud! Continue your hard work, dedication, positive attitude, and calm leadership. We are grateful for you. Thank you for sharing your love for LSE and LPS with us— you are the BEST teacher and coach. Go Knights!!!

We are so thankful to all the staff at Kooser Elementary School. Being back in the classroom for my student has made all the difference in learning. We appreciate all the extra time and understand that teachers are working overtime to make their lessons work for both in class and remote learners. Dr. Zeidicher has done a phenomenal job at preparing her classroom each and every day. Thank you Ann Jablonski for leading your school in this success. Such a fantastic school. We couldn’t be happier!

Thanks for always being a chill teacher to have in the morning. I thought woodshop would be boring but it actually is interesting. Thanks again!

- Corey

Thank you for being a great teacher!
I like my school year!

Eleanor, Grade K

Thank you for being amazing teammates and for serving the students and families of the Fredstrom community!

I am grateful for all the time and energy every single one of you has invested in Kyle, Corey, and Caleb. You have made a tremendous impact on each of them in your own ways. I have heard countless stories over the years of how so many of you have touched their lives in such positive ways and a simple thank you can't express how much this has meant to me. To all the warm demanders, gentle nudgers, and sometimes just honest buckle-down-and-get-down-to-it-ers, please know your time that you invested in them was not wasted. They are all better for having had you in their lives whether it be for one semester or over the course of many years. Thank you for all you have done for them. It has not gone unnoticed and is very much appreciated.

I would like to thank all the teachers for their hard work they put in every day for class and teaching, helping each student individually and taking the time to get to know their students. You have all done a great job during the pandemic and keep it up!!

Thank you for being such an amazing English teacher and always being there for your students! You are so good at what you do and I'm so proud of you for what you've accomplished. I know you've made a positive impact (some larger than others) on all of your students! You have done such a good job helping your community, school and students. We will always be thankful for you and everything you have done! Being a teacher is hard work but you make it look so effortless. I hope you have an amazing rest of your school year. And keep up with the hard work, it's paying off!!

Thank you for being a wonderful teacher!

- Natalia, Grade K

Thank you for being amazing!

Thank you for helping keep our students focused and on track through this challenging time.

Tonda, (Alex's Mom)

Mrs Lautenschlager, you make your class feel like a walk on the beach. A hot, sunny, fluffy sand beach. You always make everything fun and you are always helpful. I know that Humanities will always be one of my favorite classes as long as you are the one teaching it. You are so exciting that I can't help but comparing you with a rainbow, full of colors and happiness. Thank you for staying a teacher even through COVID, and having to teach both "zoomies" and "roomies" as you call them.

Bella

I just want to thank all of you for risking your health and your families health to keep educating, feeding and bussing our children. You are all my heroes and should be paid hazard pay. Stay safe and know a lot of us parents have your six.

Thank you for helping keep our students focused and on track through this challenging time.

Thanks for making class fun. You have made a really comforting, fun space for everyone and I always have a great time in your class. It is my favorite class I look forward to it every day. I use to hate science and now it's my favorite. Can't wait to TA for you next year!

Mr. Holdorf,

I just wanted to show my appreciation for your hard work and patience. I look forward to continuing my learning in your classes this year.

Your student,

Thank you Mr. Russell for being a really rad and understanding teacher when it came to rough times and being young. You gave me really good advice that I still use to this day, and a lot of good memories. I wish I could have stayed for writing club more, but don't worry, you haven't seen the last of me.

P.S. Milo says thank you for the can of beans.

You are definitely one of the most thoughtful people I have met. You were always willing to listen to us when we had problems and gave really good life advice. You definitely made a lasting impact on my life with your stories and support. Thank you.

Thank you to all of the teachers at Rousseau Elementary School. Even if I did not have you as a teacher, thank you for creating such a positive, encouraging atmosphere that surrounded my time at Rousseau. When I think back about my experience 1st through 5th grade, I can't help but remember all of the effort teachers put into my learning, and that of my classmates. Thank you! 

Dear Ms. Sundberg, You are a coach who has made a difference on multiple students and players during these difficult times. Thank You so much for everything you do for your middle school students and for us Lincoln Southeast Knights Girls Soccer players. I greatly appreciate everything you have done for us students and athletes at Southeast, you are very organized online with the Southeast Girls Soccer Twitter Page and Google Classroom by keeping us posted and updated online with important information in regards to pre-season lifting and conditioning, winter league games, and other information for the Spring Girls Soccer Season this year. Also, you have done an amazing job at being a supportive and heart warming, and welcoming coach to me for the very short time that I have known you this year as the new Southeast Girls Soccer Coach because you helped organize a Girls Soccer camp for Southeast this summer during these unexpected times, and during those Soccer Camps and Practices, you have given me important and helpful advice and feedback about Soccer which has helped me become a better player throughout my Soccer Career and will help to improve my Soccer Career. Additionally, you have been very interactive and connectable to all of us Southeast Girls Soccer Athletes because you have volunteered and have taken time to get to know me and the other athletes involved in Soccer at Southeast by hosting Zoom meetings with the players and other coaches, you have come to watch some of our Club Soccer Games during this season, you have volunteered to work concessions with me and some of the other Girls Soccer Athletes, and you even volunteered to come and watch me and other athletes during the summer of Lifting and Conditioning. Thank You so much for everything you have done for your students at Mickle Middle School and here at Lincoln Southeast High School as the new Head Girls Soccer Coach. I am very excited and looking forward to my Spring Soccer Season with you this year.

We thank each and every one of you for making Pyrtle a great place to be this year!

The pandemic woes have reached our building, to no surprise. Yet, you are working harder than ever to build relationships and make sure your students are receiving quality education, despite how difficult things are. Your hard work isn't unnoticed or without appreciation. We show up daily because we love the work that we do and we are dedicated to our scholars. A thousand thank-you's a day wouldn't be enough. Each of you are phenomenal! Thank you for all that you do.

Mr. Larkins,
In such an unprecedented school year to be a first-year teacher, you are giving it your all and succeeding at making a positive impact on your students and colleagues! It is evident you care so much about the success of your students & the well-being of those around you. This year and in all of the years to come, you will continue to succeed at helping others to feel loved, capable & worthy. Thank you!

Many thanks from the Moms in Prayer Group for delivering Scott Staff Donuts!

SCOTT STAFF WE GOT THIS!!!

Thank you so much for all that you do! Teachers are essential workers, the kids need all of you! I know that everyone is doing the best they can in a bad situation and that is so important. Please know that all of your efforts are greatly appreciated! Keep up the wonderful job that all of you are doing and stay well!!!!

To my peeps at Randolph!! I love you all so much and not just because you give me treats and belly rubs. I see you loving kids, juggling 25 balls at once, learning new technology daily, holding kids accountable, burning the midnight oil, advocating for yourselves, advocating for kids and families, making home visits, sharing laughs, and yes, scratching my belly. I am so lucky to hang out at Randolph all day, every day. Check out my handsome picture pulling the sleigh! I wish I could fill it with money and snacks and coffee and TIME! I love you!

Shug and his mom, Mrs. Mahoney

Sara, I am always amazed by your energy, drive, and passion for all students. Rousseau, Schoo, and Southeast have been fortunate to have you as their media specialist over the years. Your creativity and amount of attention to detail that you give to every project you work on is something that all students benefit from each and every time you work with a class. I can't thank you enough for all the joy you have brought to my classes each time I've worked on a project with you. I am thankful to have the opportunity to work with you!

I have the privilege of hearing how schools are holding up during this pandemic from my dear friend Mrs. Sitzman and her positivity is nothing short of amazing. She talks about school as if she is the lucky one. She is in constant awe of her students and staff for their resilience and attitude. The Sheridan Sharks are blessed with a great Assistant Principal!

Thank you so very much for all that you do every day Ms. May! You rock!

Thank you for being a great teacher!

Thank you for making school fun!

Thank you for being amazing. I always looked forward to your class and loved the energy your classroom had. I really miss you and I hope that we can talk soon. Thank you so, so much for making a difference in my life.
-Elise

Thank you for being a big reason as to why I loved sports growing up and making my elementary school experience so memorable. I still remember looking forward to PE days. Wishing you and the Zeman Zebras the best!

I have Sanchez for my 8th period class and it is always a lot of fun. I learn a lot about Spanish, and in fun ways like Gimkit and Peardeck. He makes me want to learn Spanish and to be very good at it. I know that I am going to continue with my learning of Spanish and hopefully take the AP Spanish class because of how helpful he has been and how fun his class is.

Thank you for all you do! You are amazing educators!

Thank you so much for the love and enthusiasm you provided while teaching our children. We appreciate all you have done!

Thank you all Everett Elementary staff for your hard work and dedication. You are very much appreciated!

Thank you for everything, you have made this experience fun and interesting!

I just wanted to thank you for being an absolutely incredible teacher. Your science class was what I looked forward to everyday at school. Your class is what made me appreciate and be more grateful for school. I find science a hundred times much more enjoyable than what I did before. You taught me super well, not only just about science but about life. Your crazy stories in class really lit up everyone's days and I don't know if it was just 7th period specifically or just being in YOUR class, but everyday I could go home and call my day good because I got to sit down in your classroom and be apart of that small family in there. I switched schools for 8th grade, and I think because of how interactive your class was, I was also interactive there as well. You taught me and other people to be strong and look for the positive. I was young and stupid back then, and I still am but after being in your class, I feel a hundred times better about being around people, raising my hand to give an answer, and understanding that mistakes are human and that no one is perfect. You're a fantastic teacher, and even those days it didn't seem like it, I was incredibly grateful and happy to be in your classroom and to be alive with those people around me. So thank you for being amazing.

Thank you for toughing out these hard and uncertain times with us, it is deeply appreciated and I hope we can return to normal soon. 

Best wishes,

Cayden Bouwens

Dear Mr. Lupher,

Thank you for trying to stay in touch when I was out with Covid-19. It meant a lot that you wanted to know what my condition was.

Dear Sydney Jensen,

You were my favorite teacher, and always helped me when I needed it. You were there when I needed help with my grade, and you made it very easy to enjoy your class. It was always easy to have fun in your class, and you made my freshman year so joyful. I'm so happy I got to meet you and have you as my English teacher. I loved having you and being in class with you. 

Thank you Mr. Williams for teaching myself and others how to play basketball. I really really appreciate that! Thank you so so much.

Hi Mrs. Baxter,

Thank you for being a fun teacher!

Thank you for being my teachers. Thank you for helping me on my work when I didn't know something, being there for us and listening to us.

From your students,

You're a nice teacher. I've been bad in your class and you still care. Whatever I do, you help me a lot. Thank you.

Thank you for always putting me in a good every morning and as much as I don't want to say this, I'm actually excited to come to school so I can see your face. I love when we try to challenge me, making math more fun and simple.

Mr. Sorge you are the best teacher this year. You're funny, and your class is the best one I ever had.

Thank you for being my teacher! You are nice, fun, and cool.

I just wanted to say thank you for being such a fun loving teacher who genuinely loves her students, and tries to do her teachings in a way that students A. understand and B. have fun. Thank you so much.

You have really made a difference in my life and made me want to work harder. Thank for being the best teacher I have ever had.

Thank you for being a good teacher! You are fun, funny, and cool.
