Caroline County Public Schools -

The Caroline family wished 14 employees a happy retirement this month with celebrations, gifts and heartfelt well wishes from colleagues and friends.

In honor of their service to students, a donation in each retiree’s name was made to Imagination Library, a program which provides a free, age-appropriate book every month to any child in Caroline County, from the time they are born through the age of five. Each individual $50 donation will cover the cost of providing two children with monthly books for one year. With 14 retirees, the total amount of the donation was $700.

Retiring school staff were honored at their respective schools. Typically, those serving in districtwide or administrative roles are honored at a separate reception; however, there were no retirees in those categories this year.

Superintendent Dr. Simmons noted that the new retirees represent a total of 361 years of experience in a variety of areas, all of which impact student learning and well-being. "Their absence will be felt each day," he said, "but so will the impact of everything they’ve given to our schools and community."
