Quigg made her own comments on the district's Facebook site:

"The last months have been a roller coaster ride of emotions, and I think the ride will last quite a while. I know the time is right for me to move on, and all your kind words are filling my heart: my cup is truly running over. I have had the most incredible, amazing run at SMS....like a smash Broadway hit that keeps going, regardless of my blunders and mistakes. Every single one of you has been a very precious part of this. I do remember you - brothers and sisters, parents and children, twins and some triplets, whole families, incredible colleagues. God has blessed me beyond measure and provided a path I could never have planned myself. I thank you for supporting me through this difficult change with your very special comments. I am treasuring each word and hugging every one of you with love and gratitude and joy. Every single one of you is a part of Miss Quigg and has made her who she is. God bless you, God bless you...and God bless God."  I love you.
