Dear Ms. Davis, I wanted to begin by saying that you are one of the strongest, funniest, and most exemplary role models that I have had. You have done so much for me and have been a great part of my academic and personal growth. My first day in Riviera you welcomed me into the school and gave me the nickname Ally. This stuck on me and became a thing amongst my friends. I’ll always remember this. You watched me expand my writing and overcome obstacles I once thought were not possible. You brought vibrance and light into everything you did and created a safe space for students. Through it all, you were there for each and every one of us. The amount of lives you have touched through your career is uncountable and the memories that we have created are priceless. You have showed me the courage to get up and find the beauty in everything I do (and Mr.X of course). You will forever hold a place in my heart.
Beloved Educator, Mother, and Friend
