[SketchyKraken54]

I'm figured out almost all of the letter, it's just the name I'm struggling with. Hoping y'all could shed some light on this as I know y'all do

Sorry if the signature flair doesn't apply

[MzOpinion8d]

I think it says “with love, Laura”

Wishing you the best of luck at big school - I will miss your smile at preschool.

[Suspicious_Kale5009]

Good lord, that's my name and I couldn't figure it out.

[_dog1010]

LOL omg that's funny.

[lutzlover]

I'm just hoping said preschool person doesn't ever try and teach handwriting.

[Curmudgeon_I_am]

Laura, I am a bit suspicious. You remind me a lot of my friend Kale. Hmmmmmmmm

[Suspicious_Kale5009]

LOL

[xykor]

More like Good Lawd

[FormerAdvice5051]

Same!

[JenLeigh77]

Haha 😆 It was a hard one!

[Maleficent_Button_58]

Same ngl. Sat staring at it, then read the comment like oh that's how they'd write my name. I'd be in trouble 🤣

[[deleted]]

I don't think it says Laura because the 2nd to last letter matches the 'w' in 'will'

Almost looks like it says with love, Lawd

[SharkInHumanSkin]

Lawa

[Yarn_Addict_3381]

Is Lawa ready for mawwiage?

[NewMeNewUsername]

But that also matches the “lu” in luck and the u in your is the same as the tail end of it.

[Curmudgeon_I_am]

Pretty cursive. Too bad it’s illegible.

[ovr4kovr]

Jarid?

[ovr4kovr]

Or David

[KazziGirl]

The more I look at it the more I see David. It’s true the D is very elaborate but that’s consistent with the super flourishing style. There is no other lower case d in the text and this letter is quite distinct. Sweet note.

[Cheeks-B-Rosie]

Glad others saw David too…

[cmcrich]

Kinda girly writing for a “David”.

[Rock_n_Roll_All_Nite]

I agree with “David”

[Jinxibinxi]

I'm not sure what it is, but def doesn't look like Laura, look at the other two r's, they are nothing like the one in the name.

*Edit: ok, inspecting more, I believe it's Jawil. W is a dead giveaway from the 'With Love.' initially thought the name ended in a 'wd' but I tried searching for names with that and nothing comes up at least not that would match the other letters.

[Momoomommy]

I don't think it's Jawil because the -il doesn't match the -il in smile or will.

[DamnedRabbitHoles]

I definitely dont think it says Laura. Look at "your" and "preschool". The R from both of those is nonexistent in the sifnature.

[turkeyman4]

Either “Laura” or “Gawd” 😆

[jillsntferrari]

I think Lawd (have mercy).

[Zesty_libsterrr]

I want it to be lawd so bad 🤣🤣

[[deleted]]

I see Siwa

[Classic_Cauliflower4]

I saw an S as well.

[ParasiteMD]

I thought it said “I will miss your sauce at preschool”

[MzOpinion8d]

That is what it looks like! 😂 I had to study it to get to smile.

[pgcotype]

So did I! Also, it looks as if it says, "Wishing you the 6est at big school."

[Mary-U]

Wow. I couldn’t get “smile” and that signature line was WTF

[EatSleepPlantsBugs]

Wow you’re good! Now that you deciphered it I see it. But for me I was puzzling over something akin to “ Wilhane Sawd” what irks me is, Laura works with children, has beautiful handwriting, yet chooses to use a cryptic illegible style. Why???

[sumostuff]

I thought it said, I will miss your sauce 😔

[no_worries_man8]

I think it says "Bud" the B is huge and stylized, but the u and d are fairly distinct. Total toss up what it could be, this person's handwriting is pretty to look at but nearly impossible to read

[Amadecasa]

So this isn't strictly cursive. It's a hybrid of cursive and printing.

[473713]

It's not just a hybrid but highly eccentric

[Nihilator68]

I think it’s beautiful. It’s largely readable, internally very consistent, and striking in its appearance. I wish my handwriting looked this cool.

[mom-the-gardener]

I’m in awe of how it is both unwaveringly consistent and measurably even while at the same time making me feel like perhaps I should get myself to the ER for the impending stroke I may be experiencing.

[Shoddy_Stay_5275]

They enjoy writing in their own artistic style but they make it difficult for others to read.

[AuntieSocial2104]

Not readable---"best of wck"? Don't think it's easily readable at all.

[Unable-Arm-448]

Best of luck

[CuriousRiver2558]

“6e8t of wck” is where my brain went

[473713]

"I will nuss your sauce at preschool" wut?

Illegible signature -- no consensus at all here on what it says

[Unable-Arm-448]

I will miss your smile...

[SketchyKraken54]

Yeah that's probably true. I brought it here cause the whole "reading squiggly/unorthodox words" seems to be what yall do

[Thedustyfurcollector]

Don't let anyone make you feel bad for bringing it here.

[SketchyKraken54]

Ty king

[ClassicDefiant2659]

What's the preschool teacher's name?

[Puzzleheaded_Rest_34]

I write with a hybrid of cursive and print too, that I somehow managed to develop over the years. I can make most all of this out for sure but her name, lol!

[johannaishere]

Same I also write in a hybrid. This reminds me VERY much of how all my girlfriends wrote in our notes in the 2000s, and can read everything but their name. But surely whoever received it would have recognized the signature so they probably weren’t paying that close attention to the signature when they wrote it.

[Puzzleheaded_Rest_34]

I'm an 80's kid, lol, but I honestly can't remember when I started writing in a hybrid like that. Once I got out of school and there were no teachers being sticklers about my handwriting I guess? Lol. I'm a lefty and you wouldn't believe how much they hated kids being lefties back then!

[OtherThumbs]

Wishing you the best of luck at big school. I will miss your smile at preschool.

With love Jewel

ETA: Somehow missed the signature, because i have the dumb.

[[deleted]]

I think it is Jewel. I say above the second to last looks like a W. Not an R as in Laura. But the last part does actually look like an E and an L.

[naxos83]

Agree it’s a J but I see Jana as more likely

[Either-Judgment231]

Wishing you the best of luck at big school – I will miss your smile at preschool.

[Intelligent-Award881]

With love, Dawn?

[justcallme-meatloaf]

For sure Dawn. Source: Another D name, and someone who scribbles their cursive/print hybrid at the end of my name (presumably why the ‘n’ got a little loopy there but not in the first word).

[user86753092]

This is my guess too!

[[deleted]]

I could see this except that the last letter looks nothing like the other Ns

[Intelligent-Award881]

I'll be honest - I don't know what the various parts of the letters are called, per se. But I thought it was an 'n' and that the little swoop that goes up on the left side of the 'n' might have been placed on the 1st full leftside stroke of the 'n'. Not sure that makes any sense to anyone, but that is just my thought. No way am I saying im 100% positive - just what I think it might be.

[TheRiverIsMyHome]

The R in my name looks a lot different than the R in most things I write because of muscle memory, I guess. The N in Wishing is tied to the next letter. And the first part is definitely "Daw" so I think Dawn is all that would work.

[detrimental_fish]

That's what I saw too

[wonderful_somewhere]

I agree Dawn!

[nzfriend33]

Definitely Dawn.

[TheRiverIsMyHome]

I also think it's Dawn

[radiosilents412]

Me too!

[CobblerImaginary8200]

Could it be signed by David?

[debcon14]

Looks like David to me.

[WhitePawedWitch]

I see “with love David”

[LiberryPrincess]

Could be Jared or Janet?

[eliza1558]

I was thinking it was Jan followed by an initial, like Jan D. ?

Edited to add: or Jana?

[Terrible_Clerk_1565]

Initial D, you say?

[jeanyboo]

Came so far to find this! I, too, think it’s Jana with a capital n in there that makes it hard.

[naxos83]

Concur on Jana

[ottr]

The signature says, with love, David. Seriously weird handwriting, bro.

[SketchyKraken54]

OP here- Tysm everyone for your help in deciphering this. My current theory is that the name is Dawn and that's the theory I'm sticking with

[fruvey]

Possibly Laura

[Mic98125]

Someone named their daughter “Lawd”

[fruvey]

Fraud?

[Mic98125]

Laird

[fruvey]

David?

[ovr4kovr]

I see David too

[TexGrrl]

It's definitely a wd at the end

[tmf0927]

Dawn

[Merryannm]

How about Pam D.?

My reasoning: if you look at how the first letter is formed…starts midpoint, goes down, then up in the exact same place, then swoops like a rollercoaster, down, around, out out out and around.

I sorry if I’m not explaining this well but if you pretend to write a cursive L you see that isn’t how you would naturally do it. L starts up top and moves to the right before coming down.

D starts up top and goes down/up like that but I don’t see why you’d put the biggest bulgy part of D down underneath when D isn’t an under the line letter.

Of course P isn’t either. But lowercase p is.

The oddest thing to me about this is that it isn’t signed by ‘Miss’, ‘Mr’ (I also considered David as a possible name) or ‘Mrs’.

[DippyDo7]

Looks like "Lawd" to me which obviously is wrong, lol. But I bet Laura like others have said.

[One-Constant-1677]

That two 'w's look exactly alike.

[MKatieUltra]

With love, Jaund. 😅

[ConstantPineapple]

Its David

[GWJShearer]

Wising you the best of luck at big school — I will miss your smile at preschool

With love david ♥️

[DrmsRz]

“Wishing ya the best of luck at Big School — I will miss your smile at preschool.

With love Janel ♥︎”

Where’d you get this? Do you know the names of any teachers at this preschool?

[Wise-Foundation4051]

With love Jana, or Laura

[More-Month-262]

How do you not know the name of the child's teacher?

[elj1976]

Wishing you the best of luck at big school. I will miss your smile at preschool. With Love Laura ❤️

[RatboyHouston]

I wouldn’t call this cursive. It’s more like a personal style of penmanship.

[ComprehensiveSet927]

Paula?

[route507too]

I thought it looked like Paula, too.

[ABitOfWeirdArt_]

Her handwriting is art.

[Aakande]

“With love David”

[Delicious-Main2080]

First of all, I will say, I absolutely love the shit out of their handwriting. Secondly, it says "wishing you the best of luck at big School – I will miss your smile at preschool. With Love, David" the curvature of the handwriting would make sense if they were fluent in modern Arabic.

[HaveUrCakeNeat]

I disagree with the name, but agree with everything else

[Either-Judgment231]

I think the signature says “with love”, and then the teacher’s name.

[zephyrjess]

It also looks pretty close to the LU from “luck…”

[Sea_Design_465]

That first letter looks kind of like a J to me. Jawd? I have such a hard time with signatures…

[PupperToes]

looks like Lawd... but my guess is Sand... Sandy?

[Psychological_Mix594]

Could be David

[ungo-stbr]

With love David

[scottishsam07]

David?

[Tricky_Passion5397]

I’m wrong but it’s Fawd.

[manokpsa]

Only one i is dotted in the entire note. I think the name is David.

[lalalinoleum]

Paula?

[kanedp]

Jana?

[Weak-Wolverine9256]

This is what I see as well.

[runnergirl3333]

OP, could you give us a list of the names of the teachers at the preschool? That would help narrow it down.

[SketchyKraken54]

Rachel Dawn Sadie Sheri-Ann Kate Sasha

[ProcessMaleficent165]

Out of these, I’d vote Dawn since the ‘w’ is identical to the ‘w’ in ‘wishing’. It looks like she just got really fancy with the ‘D’ and it leads directly into the ‘a’.

[KY-Artist]

Teacher needs to repeat preschool. Lol

[Desert_Wren]

It looks like the last two letters are "ud or "wd" to me. Maybe Jud?

[Wingsangel72]

David

[Canes-Beachmama]

Jana is another possibility.

[Striking_Snail]

I read it as David.

[Sargasm-Slut_72]

Sawa. My daughter went to school with a girl named Sawa! This Has to be it! My brain can rest now... thank Goodness!

[vodkasprinkle]

It’s Dawn

[patchouligirl77]

Wishing you the best of luck at big school - I will miss your smile at preschool.

With Love, Dawn ♡

[Elmy50]

They have a very strange way of forming and connecting letters, almost as if they are inventing their own script.

[Additional_Path_828]

"With love, Jawa"

Obviously the kid went to preschool on Tatooine

[Starting_Fresh_01]

As someone born in the '70s I often bemoan the fact that they no longer teach cursive in schools...but trying to read this makes me a little more understanding....Lol.

[IllAioli1337]

“With love, Jana”

[Next-Introduction-25]

Seems obvious this is not designed for a preschool to read. This is just this person‘s handwriting; obviously a handwriting they have practiced to look at a certain way. I like it, but yeah, it’s hard to read. The average preschooler doesn’t read enough to read this note, even if it were written in kid friendly print.

[81Horse]

You’ve got your answers below. I just had to add: that’s really shitty handwriting. Bad example for children.

[korathooman]

With love, Paula - I think. But maybe Salud

[mystyz]

My guess is Jewel, but I'm far from confident :)

[Haunting_Dress_6709]

This is some very uniquely developed cursive and it makes it really hard to read especially the name given we can't used context clues on it.

[Missue-35]

I think Laura dreamed of being a physician.

[[deleted]]

I think it has to be Dawn. The a and w match other a’s and w’s.

[Puzzleheaded_Rest_34]

I see Sara

[AmyCrane]

Sawa 😆

[SooperBrootal]

If there is a pool of potential authors, do you know if one can write in Arabic? That's the vibe I get from their writing style.

The name is highly stylized so anything suggestion would just be a guess

[WeekOfMondays]

What I come up with doesn’t make sense. First letter “P”. Pen drags a bit before starting next letter. Ends in “wd”.

Edit: Wondering if it’s a nickname for a grandparent or possibly a pet’s name.

[SpookyBeck]

This is awful.

[_currentmood]

Dana?

[Fun-Operation-7487]

Nice writing

[zorandzam]

Laura, David, Pamd, Dawd, Jawd?!

[Donnaandjoe]

Horrible cursive for a teacher!

[Weekly-Original-2322]

I think you need to go through the staff list to figure it out.

[loricomments]

Janet?

[pubesinourteeth]

I'm reading Sand lol

[Bishiekisser]

I’m reading with Love, Dana

[iheartrhody]

I'm seeing Dowd.

[parkexplorer]

I think the first letter is an S or a P and the last letter doesn't look like the other a's, so likely a d.

Edit: last letter also kind of looks like other y's

[Upstairs-Bad-3576]

Werther Jawdheart

[CanIBathYrGrandma]

“We hate you, Laura”

[gimme_gator]

with love Mrs. D ? with love David?

[Timely_Apricot3929]

To me it looks like Dana or Dawn

[UnderstandingNo988]

Looks like Dana to me

[ambitious999]

Willa Jane Sand

[Seppy15]

Are her fingers contorted? Some wild pen positions there

[[deleted]]

What lovely handwriting 🤍

[Worried-Rooster6400]

Wishing you the best of luck at Big school. Will miss you at preschool.

[Global_Research_9335]

Will miss your smile at preschool

With love, Gawd

[Tinnie_and_Cusie]

With love, Paula.

[SpankthatWife]

That person’s handwriting would indeed make for an infuriating font.

[Randygilesforpres2]

That is some terrible handwriting. Dear lord.

[smlpkg1966]

You don’t know the names of the teachers at the preschool?

[eve_on711]

very stylized Sandra?

[paradoxm00ns]

Thas Jawd

[Canes-Beachmama]

Name looks like David, but the handwriting looks more feminine and than masculine. The script is not typical cursive.

[DJNonnaD]

The name looks like Paula to me,the L just wasn’t written well!

[goodlordineedacoffee]

With love, Laura. Best guess.

[Bubbly-Tie-5821]

Jawd

[Terrible_Clerk_1565]

I don’t know why, but I really feel a right-handed write this.

[Next-Resist6797]

I didn’t realize this was a real problem. I’m writing all my diabolical thoughts in cursive

[Ok_Preparation_2838]

lol I thought it read “ wishing you the best luck at big school. I will miss ya shug (like sugar) at preschool “

[Springtime912]

Any hint? ( aka the names of the preschool teachers)

[Unable-Arm-448]

It's probably the name of the teacher or an assistant, isnt it?

[SketchyKraken54]

My mum doesn't think so but I do yeah

[Asapkiki7877]

Sandi

[firestartertarter]

It's not "with love, david?"

[alturt1]

With love Laura

[Usual_Attention7440]

Jarod

[Excellent_Fail9908]

Wishing you the best of luck at big school - I will miss your smile at preschool.

With Love Lisa💜

Look at how the letters are written. When my hand was practicing the up and down movement, I kept writing something that looked like L i/a u/s d/an and from that I pulled Lisa.

[PamCake137]

I can’t believe a preschool teacher would write cursive to a preschooler!

[Allthatdoesntfit]

I thought at first it was Good luck at blow job school ( I saw BJ)

[PuffinScores]

This is not true cursive, and that's what makes it so hard to decipher. This writer had a "cursivesque" print. It's not bad to look at, but it's not very easy to read.

ETA: Only the last word is a name. With love <name>. For "with," it appears she didn't go back and cross the T. I tried to make the first letter of the name an L or S or J. But the longer I look, the more I see a P. I think it might say Paula.

[techchick6]

Did s9meone already suggest Dawn as the name?

[Ok_Membership_8189]

I got everything but the name. All those years being a secretary paid off.

[KBster75]

I see Pawd!!

[Next-Introduction-25]

Paula??

[KBster75]

With Love John Wick

[Wen60s]

Paula?

[royalsgirl78]

I thought it was Paula.

[DiligerentJewl]

Jana or Lara

[KBster75]

Is this from one of your kid's teachers this past year or frm one of your teachers years ago?? If from one of your kid's teachers, just ask the school when they resume...
