Thompson Chapter Continues Its Retirement Tradition

Joan Dawson

The Thompson Association of Retired Educators (TARE) continues to visit the classrooms of newly retiring teachers to celebrate with their students. It is such a fun time for us that we no longer vote on whether or not we are going to hold the event, we just discuss which retiring teachers to visit. We bring Rice Krispy Cake, talk about retirement, tell funny stories about what retired teachers do with their time, sing a song or two and take pictures. It’s great to be able to welcome retiring teachers going into retirement. This year’s retirees are Pat Pegus, a grade three teacher and Denise Tucker, a primary resource teacher. 
