Retiring Teachers

By Alexa G. & Helena H.

Three of our most beloved staff members here at Holmes are leaving us this year-Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Katz, and Mrs. Vickers.
Mrs. Hughes has been at Holmes School for 16 years. Why did she stay so long you ask? Two words--the people. Ms. Hughes is an inspiring teacher. Everyday she works with different students and helps them read. Next year, Mrs. Hughes plans on traveling, she looks forward to more gardening time, and also she will have lots of spare time to read. Mrs. Hughes told us that she will miss everyone. Her advice for students is, “Enjoy learning, make many friends, try new things, and ask questions—the recipe for success.”
Mrs. Katz has been here for three years. She loves the friendly staff here at Holmes and being with children. She is going to miss everyone, especially the children she works with. Ms. Katz is planning to go to Hawaii and maybe to Europe. Her advice for students is, “Keep on studying, keep learning, and to keep in mind that education is so important.”
We will miss these two teachers very much. Make sure you bid them a proper farewell. Go to the fifth grade page to learn about Mrs. Vickers.
