Retirements
Chris Dorn PHS I retired in February and I am enjoying spending more time with my family. There is now extra time to go up north this year. I also like spending time going through antique shops and auctions which I couldn’t really do when I was working. We are planning a trip to Alaska for next year.
Pat Hermans PCMS I have not truly put a lot of thought into the question of what I plan to do with all my retirement time. I am very much at ease for now, with letting things take their course and seeing what happens. I have plenty of projects to keep me busy in the yard at home and at my father’s cottage. Weather has always intrigued me so I might volunteer to be a weather spotter or I might even volunteer to “baby-sit” sturgeon in the spring of the year. Later this summer I will have a puppy to train and those of you who know me, know that I will be in my duck skiff in the fall chasing ducks. I feel Montana and Wyoming calling so I might have to put together a trip out there to fish and camp for a while.
Dorothy Grzeskowiak Glenbrook Elementary School I plan to spend more time with my family and complete many projects around the home that have been waiting. Retirement will give me opportunities to expand my business, GRZ International, which helps people develop additional streams of income. I also want to work with and continue studying Jin Shin Jyutsu, the ancient art of healing, and in my spare time do oil painting, silk painting, stained glass work, gardening, etc…
Donna Karcz Sunnyside I don’t really know what my plans are yet for after I retire. This came up fast and I don’t have any definite plans. I do have eight grandchildren so I will be able to spend more time with them.
Elaine Karcz PHS I plan to enjoy more time with the family and spend more time with the family.
Belinda Hermans Sunnyside Upon retiring I will relax a bit and then look for another job. I enjoy being around other people and keeping busy.
Susan Hyland Pulaski High School I’m still exploring my options. I have tentative plans for a late summer trip to Italy and southern France.
Dan Jung PHS I do not have any finalized, major plans for my retirement. I will be finally getting a dog (a German shepherd), which is something I have wanted to do for decades. I also plan to do some volunteering. I am toying with the idea of trying to train my dog to qualify to become a therapy dog. Finally, I plan to really work on my golf game and to do some traveling!

Chuck Jajtner PCMS I will spend more time with my family and my two grandsons. Barb and I also hope to do more traveling, skiing, and sailing.
Jean Fontaine Pulaski Community Middle School I plan to do some subbing before I completely retire. I also have plans to spend part of our winter in Florida. I would like to be involved in “cupping” for the LaJava café, but that will be determined soon.
The Pulaski Community School District would like to thank you for your time and dedication in serving our community and our children. Best wishes on your retirement.
Ann Kralapp Glenbrook Elementary My plans for retirement are as of yet undetermined. My plan is to pray to the Lord for his guidance while I wait for my next grand adventure. I plan to exercise more, eat better, clean, and organize our home from top to bottom and work in my perennial garden.
Sandra Kapalin Pulaski Community Middle School I plan to remain involved with music, and am looking forward to having more time to practice and perform!
Mary King Sunnyside principal Retirement plans include spending time with my family, including my husband who also recently retired, my four children and their families. I want to visit my seven grandchildren, and occasionally sub as a teacher or principal for local school districts. Barbara Kleczka Pulaski Community Middle School My plans for retirement are to spend more time with my two granddaughters, Kali and Eva. Also I would like to go back to school to learn to work with English language learners.
