002it's a special night that we get to recognize and um thank the individuals that have put many many years um into Amanda Clear Creek Local Schools. Um so first of all we're going to bring you up and talk to you each about each individually. U but collectively as a group um I I do want to say first of all thank you for u what you do the commitment that you've made to our district. Um there are numerous years here um with people that have really invested into our school and and and saw that vision and wanted to be part of something. So, um, your work hasn't gone unnot unnoticed and just, um, you know, I look around this room and there's numerous individuals in here that I was a new guy coming in and you
003welcomed me, um, as I came in and said, "Hey, come be part of the team." And you don't always get that. It's a special place whenever you get that. So, thank you for for that. But, uh, first of all, um, Cheryl Reeds If you haven't had some of the goodies that Miss Reeves prepares, um, they are delicious. Um, we always figure out what Cheryl's cooked up special off the side and then you see a string of people going down the cafeteria once the word gets out. So, um, Cheryl's always welcoming, friendly face down at the end on the register whenever you come through and, um, you know, I know she does that with staff. I know she does that with students and, uh, has been a part of this Amanda Clear Creek team for quite
004a while. So, um, Miss Reeves, congratulations on your retirement and, um, thank you for your time here. All right. Thank you. We'll grab a picture real quick. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. [Music] I'll start talking about Miss Forker. Uh Mrs. Forker is our Title One and for how many years? Title One? 28. 20. Just a couple years in a title one position. Um Title One is a very important intervention position. um she served the elementary students and um couple things that I in my short time here I've noticed about Miss Forker. One, if you say, "Hey, I need you to it's yes, she's always willing to pick up and help whenever it comes to working with her students and intervening and and and doing what they need, she's always willing to pick that
005up." Um the second thing is whenever it comes to a piece of title one, and a lot of people don't know this, it's that family engagement piece. So whenever it comes to literacy night and science night, those math and science night, those pieces of where, hey, families come in here, we want to welcome you in. Mrs. Worker has been a key component to making those things come together and always is willing, like I said, always willing to what can I do? How can I help? So that's definitely a component that we're going to miss here at Amanda Clear Creek. So again, congratulations. Okay, gotcha. Thank you. [Applause] Started a hockey team, she'd be the one. Exactly. Uh, Mrs. Richardson, uh, Mr. Mr. Dennis said he had some great stories that he needed to tell. So,
006great stories. I'm not sure I have great stories, but I just want to say one, thank you. Um, I know I've mentioned just to you before, but every time I see you, you have a smile on your face. You're welcoming. You care about kids. Liking kids is 98% of the battle. And you've done that. And I would not expect when you told me when I got here how long you've been here. I would never have imagined that because the way you love the kids, love your job, and the way you approach it. So, thank you for all your dedicated service to the kids here. The seniors are going to miss you. to bear this out with somebody uh next year is not having you as a senior class advisor. So, you've done a fantastic job.
007Thank you. You've made you've made my life here easier and uh just like you had mentioned, you made me feel welcome from the start and that's a a big part of it. So, thank you. [Music] The picture that I can do in my mind is you coming out with your uh Rocky Robe on on the first day walking through walkout song. So um again like he said uh I I knew that whenever it came to senior activities, anything that had to do with the senior class, you were on top of it. And um I from a a business office side, we never had to worry about it was going to be in and paperwork was going to be done and there were going to be things well planned in advance. So again, thank you. Awesome.
008Thank you, Mr. Char. Congratulations. I'm not giving you a hug, Mr. Sharp. Um, what I think of you, you have that same look on your face, that same smile. You still scare kids to death. What they're afraid of is they're going to disappoint you. And you know as much as anyone else that what you leave behind here is not a legacy of math but a legacy of good people. You hold high expectations and you want kids to do really good things and and you hold them to it and you pull them along. They think you're gruff and they think you're mean but you want what's best for them and it shows and they will appreciate you. They do appreciate you for that and so do we. So thank you for all your hard work. Thank
009you very much. Appreciate to know you. We appreciate you. I love this place and I won't miss it. Yep. You're welcome back, Lisa. There's a list that you can get on some time off and don't worry, we already got you got your Yours is already written down. Yeah, that's already down. Uh, one of the things to add on to that, you know, I talked about earlier welcoming and and whenever you're a new person coming in, um, you were one of the first people that came up to me and welcomed me and said, "Hey, I want to sit down and talk to you." and and and really develop that relationship of this is what Amanda Clicker gives and this is why uh we do what we do. So that community aspect, you definitely um relayed that
010community aspect to me. So I I want to say thank you for what you've done here to the school prior to me and definitely for making uh what my experience been a good one. Oh, I appreciate everything you guys do too. It's you guys doing a good job. I appreciate Thank you. Did you get a picture? I'm getting one now. Put your fingernails. There you go. Thank you. Uh, our final retiree here with us tonight is Mrs. Terry Pinktock. Um, Mrs. Pinktock whenever I came in, she was one of those that I first had to start having conversations with. Um, if you want to ask someone about curriculum and instruction and data, she's your person. Um, she has a great love for this district. Um, the many years that she's put in and she's done
011just about everything, I think. Um, so I know she's a great resource to the administrative team. Um, not only for her knowledge base, but also someone to go talk to. Um, I think she's been a mentor to a lot of administrators and um, is going to be a void that uh, you know, whenever she uh, retires here um, that'll that'll be left. But I know that her care for the community, the care for this school, um, runs really deep and she's very passionate about what she's done, what she's wanting to do, and she sees that future picture of I want to make sure that this is in place after I leave. Um, you know, I've heard it before that whenever you retire, you want to be able to take your take your toe out of
012the stream and everything keeps moving and you don't notice it. And I think that Terry has really worked um to make sure that's in place to build capacity, but you're going to be missed very much. So, thank you, Mrs. Pink. Thank you. Thank you. So, again, congratulations to all of our retirees. Um some of them couldn't be here with us tonight. And uh again, there's many years of experience and and service to our st our students and our community that is going to be walking out that door. But again, from the district, from me, thank you for what you've done and uh best wishes in retirement. Thanks. So, please join us. We're going to pause for a little bit. Please join us for some refreshments, have some conversations with the uh audience here and the
013board and uh enjoy a little bit of time together.
