Berlinda began her career as one of our special needs drivers before working her way to Route A. In addition to safely transporting generations of students, she also served as PSE President for several years, advocating for and supporting her colleagues along the way. Outside of work, Berlinda has enjoyed attending plays and cheering on athletes at girls volleyball games.
Thank you, Berlinda, for your years of commitment, leadership, and care for our students and staff. We wish you all the best in your retirement!
Lisa carried on a special family tradition when she took over the elementary music program following her mother's retirement. Over the years, she has shared her passion and talent with countless students, helping them build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for music. Her annual Winter Concerts have become one of our elementary school's most cherished traditions and most anticipated performances.
Thank you Lisa, for more than three decades of dedication, heart, and the lasting impact you've made on generations of students and families. Your legacy will continue to resonate throughout our schools for years to come. We wish you a joyful and well-deserved retirement!
As the school year comes to a close, we want to thank our students, families, and staff for a wonderful year. We wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer break! Enjoy making memories, exploring new adventures, and taking time to recharge.
