Nonnie retired from teaching 2 weeks ago, and we were able to attend her retirement party. Nonnie has been a teacher for over 20 plus years, and a teacher at Glen Oaks since it's opening 22 years ago. Ironically, I was in 5th grade the opening year of the school, and little did I know that my future mother-in-law was just down the hall teaching kindergarten. She finished up as a 1st grade teacher, and has definitely made a huge impact. She was the most dedicated teacher, literally being the first one up there and the last to leave. She also worked many weekends, and cared so much for all her students. I have have had countless people in the community come up to me, and ask if I was related to her, as she is sort of famous as being THE teacher you want your kid to have. We are all so proud of her, and happy that she is now going to get to enjoy the freedoms of retirement!
Coincidentally, the house we moved into a year and a half ago is zoned for Glen Oaks. Luke will be entering in 1 short year, and obviously the girls will follow. How special for them all to be at the school where their Nonnie taught for so many years. They better be on good behavior, as I think people will recognize their names and will be able to report back to Nonnie. Haha!
Here are pictures from her party.
Congrats Nonnie, we love you!
