To our retiring teachers.~
It's always with a sense ofloss that I say good-bye to retiring staff. This year is no different. As I consider the list ofindividuals leaving, I can't help, but consider the unique talents and skills which each ofthese teachers have usedfor the betterment ofstudents at CCI. In total, they represent over 160years ofteaching experience. I know that I speak on behalfofthe whole CCI community when I extend best wishes on your retirement. Ralph, Jim, Wayne, Fred, Lou and Gord- ENJOY- you've earned it!!!
