Happy Retirement! 🚣‍♀️

The time has finally come to trade in your office chair for a canoe seat, and your deadlines for shorelines! You've paddled through the rapids of work life with grace, grit, and a great sense of humor—and now it’s time to drift into the calm waters of well-deserved relaxation.

May your days be filled with smooth waters, scenic views, and just enough adventure to keep things interesting (but not enough to require a life jacket at all times). You’ve made waves here in the best possible way, and we’ll miss you more than words—or paddles—can say.

Enjoy the journey ahead—no meetings, no memos, just miles of peaceful paddling.

We’ll miss your steady presence and warm laugh, but we know your next chapter will be filled with joy, adventure, and absolutely zero alarm clocks. We will miss your warm smile and your delicious casseroles and cookies!!

Wishing you all the happiness (and naps) in the world.

Happy Canoeing, Carol! Love Patty and Larry Diener

You've left behind a legacy of excellence, integrity, and support that won't be forgotten. While we'll all miss your presence, I hope this next chapter brings you all the relaxation, joy, and adventure you deserve.

Thank for all of the guidance, grace, and support over the last few years. You truly helped me as a new principal and I am so thankful that I was able to work with you during my first years as a Principal. I am so very happy for you and this is so well-deserved. I hope you enjoy your retirement and get to spend lots of time relaxing and with your grandbabies! :)

Very happy for you!! Just want you to know what a wonderful job you did for MVUSD with the various 'hats' you wore in taking on so many different positions and doing it all so well. I truly appreciated all that you did for our LMA group/ libraries,that in turn benefited countless kids!!

Time for you to 'cut loose' and 'paddle off' to new things in life!!

Wishing you the best,

Lisa Hair

Thank you for your support and for the example you set. Wishing you joy, relaxation, and all the adventures that retirement brings. You’ve truly earned it!

Kim Calvin

Thank you for being such an awesome and inspiring leader. I truly put you in the category of Dan Reed — and anyone who’s been around long enough knows what a high compliment that is!

You have always understood the vital role of libraries in schools — as the heart of learning, a hub for connection, and a place where students discover the joy of reading. You’ve recognized how powerful it is to put books into students’ hands — nurturing their curiosity, building their confidence, and helping them grow into life-long learners. The more they read, the better they become — and you’ve championed that truth every step of the way.

You are caring, generous, and kind — and you’ve always shown deep respect for both students and colleagues. I have so much appreciation and admiration for your support, your leadership, and the example you’ve set.

Though I’ll miss you dearly, I wish you all the happiness in your retirement. You’ve earned every moment of it. Please don’t be a stranger — I hope we’ll stay in touch.

With warmest regards and gratitude,
Torie

Enjoy your retirement :)
