@polinuk Congratulations Michele!

Today is the last day of my education career! I’ve enjoyed meeting & working with all the students, parents, co-workers during the past 32 years. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work as a teacher in RESD and school administrator and senior administrator in LSSD.
