Yesterday morning felt a little extra special. ❤️
We gathered all of our staff members for our annual end-of-year breakfast (shoutout awesome food service!) to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. But it was more than just breakfast. It was laughter echoing across tables, hugs between busy moments, and those “remember when…” conversations that only happen when a year full of memories comes to a close.
But the moment that stayed with us the longest was honoring the people who have quietly shaped the heart of this place for years... our retirees.
• Aaron Jackson — 13 years
• Tim Robertson — 3 years
• Joel Blessant — 30 years
• Denise Fillmore — 29 years
• Robert Hansen — 48 years
• Brenda Wheeler — 22 years
• Sandra Bumpus — 20 years
• Cynthia Shavlik — 15 years
That’s 180 years of combined dedication to Rose Hill Schools.
180 years of early mornings, late nights, extra effort, and steady care for our students who will carry pieces of them forever.
“Some people don’t just work in a school... they become part of its story. And even when they leave, their chapters are the ones everyone remembers.”
To our retirees: thank you for leaving this place better than you found it. We hope retirement gives you slow mornings, full hearts, and all the time in the world for what comes next.
You will always belong here. 🚀 #AlwaysARocket #RocketPride
Some people keep our schools running in ways most never see ... and today we’re celebrating four of them 💙
🩺 Nurse Drew, the steady helper our youngest students count on without even realizing it.
🩺 Nurse Treto, who somehow knows exactly what each little one needs before they can explain it.
🩺 Nurse Grace, the calm voice in the occasional middle school craziness.
🩺 Nurse Emily, taking care of the big kids and the big picture across the district.
You’re the quiet “we’ve got this” in the middle of every unexpected moment. And we’re really lucky you’re ours.
Happy International Nurse’s Day 🩺💙
