When I was called outside this morning to the bus area for a supposed emergency, I was so surprised to see the entire school outside waiting to celebrate my retirement. The students and staff had lined up to spell the word TEASLEY thanks to the creative talents of our art teacher, Christin Carpenter. A talented dad, Kevin Rose, took a picture from the rooftop of the school of all of us standing outside wearing purple and white and spelling the school name. Three wonderful students, Richard Agee, Aparna Harihara, and Lauren Edwards read touching letters to me. It only got better from there when Ms. Roxanne Mungin debuted the new Teasley song. I can assure you that I was very teary eyed to hear the children proudly sing their hearts out. Then the fun began, with Ms. Trenia Gooden as our DJ, dancing to great music. There is no way to thank the Sunshine Committee, headed up by Dr. Kelly Luscre, for all the planning and coordinating that went into my very special day. I also will enjoy looking through the farewell notebook that was given to me with notes from the students of Teasley.
I could not have asked for a better farewell. Thanks to the staff members who worked so hard planning this special day.
