The Sally's have impacted the lives of thousands of Stillwater students at over the past 25 years.

Today is their last day of school.

Colony 1 Teachers Sally Arneson and Sally Studtman will retire after teaching kindergarten and first grade at Stonebridge for a combined 49 years.

Within seconds on Thursday afternoon the positive impact the Sally's have had on the Stonebridge community was made apparent .

"As parents here we were fortunate enough to know that when our children walked in the door that first day of kindergarten, they were loved, cared for, inspired, respected and valued," Laura Fredericks, executive director of The Partnership Plan said. "If you asked my two boys--one is in college and the other in high school--who their favorite teacher was, they would say, Sally."

The Sally's had a tremendous impact on Stonebridge over the years, Principal Derek Berg said. "They both have the everybody-else attitude. They are both very giving."

Both teachers said it was an honor to teach at Stonebridge.

"I don't even know how to begin to thank you for all of the love and support over the years," Arneson said. "Thank you for sharing your amazing kids with us. It has been such an honor."
