The end of the year is a great time to take a moment and reflect on where we've been and where we're headed. It's a time to look back on our journey and think about the lessons we've learned along the way. Last Friday, we had the chance to celebrate both, our Golden Apple Nominee and our retirees. We celebrated accomplishments and honored many years of service to our district. Saying goodbye was bittersweet, as we know we'll miss them dearly. But at the same time, we're excited for them and the new adventures that await. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors and promise to keep in touch. We are so grateful for the memories we've shared and hope that they'll always think of us fondly.
