Today I said goodbye to a wonderful first grade teacher who dedicated 30 years to educating children. She has decided to retire to spend more time with an ailing family member. This was a very tough decision for her because she loves her profession and will really miss it. I have not spent 30 years doing any one thing and admire her passion and dedication. I have had my position for seven years and am already thinking of retiring!! I can only strive to make the impact that this master teacher has had on so many lives. She was my son's first grade teacher- as well as one of his all time favorite teachers! And do you know that when he graduated from high school, she sent him a book and attended his party!? As if this wasn't enough she is a wonderful friend and is really fun to be around in adult settings too! I will miss her at school- she has left some big shoes to fill.
