To the Editor:
It has been the ultimate privilege and pleasure to know Dr. Patricia McGeehan. A better teacher or principal there has never been. A better superintendent, we in Bayonne have never witnessed. The children always came first. That was her priority. As a parent, education has always been a matter of considerable significance. I’ve been so thankful a woman with your knowledge and persona was in charge for so many years. You are truly one of the most remarkable, totally caring, with your whole heart and soul woman I have ever met. You always gave 150 percent of yourself. I have always admired you. You have always been so kind and considerate and I and so many others appreciate all that you’ve done.
Your goal was to focus on working hard and every child simply felt the motivation you were trying to instill in them. All the children would always rally around you as a teacher, no matter where you were. There are very few people in your caliber. All your dedication and hard work has never gone unnoticed. I wish you the best on your new journey but always remember there could never be a replacement for you, with all the exceptional qualities you have shared with so many parents and students over the years. I and so many others want you to know, it is our turn to rally around you and honor you for all that you’ve unselfishly given us and our children.
