Congratulations on your retirement!

Today's post is bittersweet as we honor three very special educators at Northwest Early Elementary who are preparing to embark on their next great adventure: Retirement! Celebrating our Retiring Legends: (L-R: Ms. Shore, Ms. Peek, and Ms. Brooks) These incredible women represent many years of dedication, patience, and love for the students of Northwest. They have been the foundation of so many first steps in education, turning classrooms into second homes and students into lifelong learners. While we are heartbroken to see them go, we are overjoyed to celebrate the massive impact they’ve left behind. Their legacy isn’t just in the lessons they taught, but in the confidence they built in every child who walked through their doors.

Help us give them the ultimate send-off! Share a photo if you have a throwback from their classroom. Drop a favorite memory or a "Thank You" message in the comments below! ❤️🖤
