Our Renaissance committee honors retirees in May of each year and the PTA selects a Teacher of the Year, but many times great teachers and staff members go unnoticed until they retire. So this year we have begun honoring our staff for their years of service to our school district. We are recognizing staff after they have completed their first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, and thirtieth year of service. One group is honored at each faculty meeting. Honorees receive a certificate and a gift, which correlates with the specific anniversary: the first year is paper, so each honoree received a notepad. The fifth year is wood, so they will receive a wooden picture frame, etc. It is a great way to recognize our staff for everything they do to educate our students!
