Saying Goodbye
In the early spring of 2009, I came to Pacific School to substitute in the library for a few months. And now more than 7 years have elapsed! I have enjoyed working with the fabulous teachers and staff at Pacific school as well as my wonderful parent volunteers. The best thing, of course, are the students and their daily hugs and smiles!
Leaving is bittersweet--it is hard to say goodbye to all the friends I have made, but I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and hobbies in retirement. Thank you for all your good wishes (and gifts!) for my retirement.
I hope to see you around town!
