Staff Retirements ~ after 30 and 40+ years!

Two of our beloved staff members will be retiring at the end of this school year:
Louise Brown & Janet Fisher

Ms. Brown began as a substitute teacher in the late 70's, taught Title One for three years, and has been an art teacher at both the Donaghue and the Sweetsir School since 1983.  In recent years, she has hosted an annual 'Spring Art Show' featuring students many creative works of art.  Those who attended the event last month will agree, the high quality work and way it was displayed in the HRD foyer created the feeling of a professional 'Art Gallery'. 

Janet Fisher has worked in Merrimac Schools 45 years!!!  She began her career in the cafeteria at Donaghue and finished at Sweetsir.  Several generations of Merrimac children may remember her fabulous cookies. She has an amazing work ethic and the cleanest kitchen I have ever seen. 

Both of these women will be greatly missed.  We hope they have a joyful and fun retirement surrounded by friends and family.
