the final bell!

My mother retired last Friday. After 34 years of teaching grade school she heard the final bell. She attended grade school at the same school she taught at, Easter Heights Elementary, in St. Paul, Mn. As most schools have done Eastern Heights had to expand a few years back. The new design of the school meant that one of the classrooms would become the teachers lounge. The classroom that became the new teachers lounge was the classroom my mother had attended kindergarten. It was in the teachers longue that she had her retirement party. Nancy Cunnien's first and last day at Eastern Heights Elementary were in the same room just 47 years apart. Congratulations Mom!
