Farewell, Friendly Smile

Today we said goodbye to Mrs. Sculthorpe. You may not have heard her name this school year, but I assure you that hers is a face that is known well to all members of Area 51. You see, Mrs. Sculthorpe was the long-range sub for Mrs. Mitchell, who adopted a baby this summer and is on maternity leave. She has been the teacher for the Lifeskills class, and so she has been the main teacher to three of our 5-1 classmates. Normally, she plays invisible, just walking around and helping Luke, Dalila, and Liam with their Word of the Day and with their attendance in the morning. She has been really great about including many of the mainline fifth graders in helping the Lifeskills kids during silent reading time and during dismissal.

Starting tomorrow, she finally gets to begin enjoying her retirement! She officially retired from CHS this spring, but came right back to work on the first day of school this year. We all wish her the absolute best, and we hope to see her subbing again soon. She said that right now, she gets to focus on some volunteer work she does for Janus Developmental Services, which provides help in finding jobs for developmentally challenged adults.

So long, Mrs. Sculthorpe! We all know you will love the retired life, and we thank you for all you have done during this first few months of the school year.
