D124 Bids Goodbye to 18 Retiring Teachers

It is the end of an era for Evergreen Park District 124 as 18 teachers and staff members get set to retire when the last bell rings for summer vacation.

The teachers served across the district at Southeast, Southwest, Northeast and Northwest Elementary Schools, and Central Middle School. Going with them is a combined 479 years of experience.

D124 Communications Director Claudia Parker put together a beautiful tribute video honoring the retiring educators that screened during a special dinner for National Teacher’s Appreciation Week.

We wish the best of health and luck to these teachers in their retirement years. The children of Evergreen Park were lucky to have you.
