Thank You AHS Patriettes

Mr. & Mrs. Duez before the Patriette Banquet
This is a very special thank you to the AHS Patriettes, Ms. Rayburn and Ms. Marches and all those special dancing young ladies that Mr. and Mrs. Duez has had in class throughout the years.  The spirit of your team is so strong and all of you represent AHS with such incredible grace, talent, and class.

Thank you for donating money to our MS Foundation Campaign this spring.  The Patriette Spring Show was inspiring.  Thank you as well for inviting Mrs. Duez and I to the Patriette banquet.  We were grateful for you to allow us to share in that special night with all of you.

As the National MS Society slogan says: "Keep Moving!"



I have been honored to dance at half time during the father-daughter dance as a fill in for two of my very favorite former students.  So I guess I have always jokingly considered myself as an 'honorary' Patriette. :)  After all of your kindness and love this spring, I really feel like one!

Coming off the field in 2008 with Valonia Walker.  Wow, I was an awful dancer!  She made me look good.

Mr. Duez, I never knew this was documented until a random "patriette" google search of the years during which I participated. It's great to know that it was documented, it meant a lot to me that you agreed to be my partner, whether you knew that or not. SUPER AWEWSOME. you were (and still are) the coolest teacher, I will always remember you. I hope your family is healthy and doing well, and I send you my love and well wishes to you/yours. Thanks again Mr. Duez <3
