Susan George33 years with 1st and 3rd graders

What was your most memorable moment? A little girl’s joy when she wore her red dress. Her joy

for life. She had very few toys or clothes. She was amazing.

What will you miss the most and the least? I’ll miss the first few weeks of school. I won’t miss

those cold days of recess duty!

What are your future plans? My husband and I plan to travel.

Dennis PublowTeacher and coach for Twenty-seven Years

What is your most memorable moment working in the district? Taking our students to Maryland on the exchange trip. The most gratifying moments during teaching have been when a past student returns & thanks me for helping them learn math skills that have been critical to their careers.

What will you miss the most and the least?

I’ll miss the teaching staff at the Middle School. I won't miss all the WyCAS, PAWS, etc or all the hours sitting at the computer entering grades. Least of all not being able to hold students accountable for their actions (or lack of).

What are your future plans? I’m not sure about my future plans.

One more school year has come and gone.

We wish the best of luck to the retirees!

See you next year! 2009-2010
