Penny, You were always so appreciative of a simple "thank you," and helped me recognize that showing gratitude goes a long way. Your magnificent qualities were abundant, however, positive energy and love for the kids is what I will remember most about you. I'll miss you.

Dear Penny, the school tech office was always brightly lit when you came into the room. Your joy, wit, and keen skills were a wonderful part of my day! Thank you for all you did to help me as I was coming on board those many years ago, and throughout the time we worked together at District 83.
Your friend,
