Q: How do you feel about leaving as the days wind down?

A: I think it feels great. I’ve worked 25 years in the district and I am excited to start the second part of my life.

 

Q: What are the biggest plans you have to do with all of the free time you will have?

A: My biggest plans are to travel. I also would like to do a lot of volunteer work and try to help a lot of children with disabilities. That is one of my big goals.

 

Q: What is the craziest thing that happened since you have been here?

A: Oh my goodness I would need a long time to tell you all the crazy things that have happened here.

 

Q: How many different hair styles have you had in your time at P-T?

A: Hmmm… Not that many. Probably four.

 

Q: Which decade was your favorite one to work here?

A: My favorite decade has probably been this decade. Just because of my wisdom along the way and the students here. The kids are the reason I stayed here. We have the best kids ever.

 

Q: What will you miss the most?

A: Definitely the students and all of the camaraderie with all of my best friends in the office and in the school. I will miss the youth too. It keeps you young.
