Over the past 28 years I've taught mostly English and Art, but also basic math, home economics, journalism (yearbook: "The Elk", and newspaper: "The Ridge Runner". I've been the student council advisor through a leadership class; taught a junior high communication skills class, junior high arts & crafts, and junior high social studies. I've been the Stony Creek Federation of Teachers President for more ten years. But today, all of that is no longer my baggage to carry 24/7. I will miss interacting with the people there especially my coworkers. I'm thinking about substitute teaching there in the fall just to keep in touch. Jayne. Candy, and I shed a few parting "I'll miss you" tears. I won't miss the work load. The staff of the district, all 26 of us, met at the Elk Horn Cafe for lunch and made a toast to those that are leaving and to those that are staying. I was presented with a lovely amaryllis as a happy retirement gift. Will have to research on how to take care of it. So, on to other projects: knitting, crocheting, gardening, and painting the kitchen.
