Sandy,
It is hard to honor you when I am not ready to see you leave the staff. You not only taught the
children in your room but you taught the staff and you taught me lessons as well. I loved to watch
you delight in the learning your students did as you guided them through each school year. Those children
you taught were blessed, and I believe that you truly changed the world when you changed the lives
of the students you came into contact with. You are a gift that I will treasure forever.

Child's View of Retirement
After a Christmas break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays. One small boy wrote
the following:
We always used to spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma. They used to live here in a big brick home,
but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people.
They all live in little tin boxes. They ride on big three-wheeled tricycles and they all wear nametags because
they don't know who they are. They go to a big building called a wrecking hall; but if it was wrecked, they got
it fixed because it's all right now. They play games and do exercises there, but they don't do them very good.
Sandy, many good wishes for the retirement of your dreams.
Al and Pam
