“Hi Leroy, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing it in the resource package. I really appreciate it!!! I really enjoyed the workshop and I walked away from it with a renewed energy. I had lunch with my former retired principal and was telling her about the workshop. I also told my research partner about it as well. “
