Happy Retirement, Momo!

The main reason we went home over Memorial Day was to surprise Momo with a retirement party. (And to see with our own eyes that she was indeed retiring after 32 years of teaching at Chute!) With the help of some dear friends/colleagues of Momo's, we pulled it off! We had a wonderful party and many of Momo's colleagues and friends read poems and sang songs in her honor. It was clear from talking to Momo's colleagues that she will be sorely missed.

Momo, we know that you have made a huge difference and a lasting impression on so many students, and we are so grateful for all of your hard work!

Read Momo's wonderful reflections from her time as an ESL teacher on her blog, Schoolyard Journey: Reflections.

It worked, we surprised Momo!
