As always, these are my opinions only
and not the opinions of the Pendleton County School Board or any other
individual board members.
Tonight, we honored 14 retirees at our
board meeting- Leonard Whalen, Gary Grigson, Virginia Wright, Cheryl Hughes,
Kim Simpson, Karen Delaney, Lynn Orr, Debra Holland, Brenda Kells, and Charles
Elliot. Retirees honored but not present
were Barbara Hutchinson, Bill Ockerman, Helen Haywood, and Joel Nahari. I thank each of you for your commitment to
the Pendleton County Schools and most importantly to the impact you have had on
each of our students’ lives. I have a
plaque next to my desk and it reads “A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and
touches a heart.” While it says teacher,
it could easily read a bus driver, a custodian, or a counselor. My point is that each of you has been
instrumental in the emotional and educational development of our students. Thank you for getting our students home
safely at night. Thank you for cleaning
up after them at school and for preventing others from getting sick. Thank you for making an impact on our students
that you will never see or even know.
