After teaching at Schmitz Park Elementary for 22 years, Kiki Watson is retiring. The school community wasn’t about to let her go without a celebration, so she was in the spotlight this afternoon. In our photo, she’s holding her big retirement gift: Custom glass the PTA purchased from local artist Bradly Burzynski (a former Schmitz Park dad)! She also received the gift of warm words from families of students and colleagues past and present.
Oh Kiki – congratulations! If I had known about your “send off” I would have been there! I think of you often & will be forever grateful for your service as a teacher – both of my boys are still avid readers & writers because of your dedication, encouragement & instruction. You truly helped mold them into the amazing men they are today!
With gratitude & sincerity,
Bobbie King
It was clear by the mob of adoring students at her party yesterday to see how much this teacher is loved. My students loved having Kiki as a teacher years ago, especially her funny stories about her crazy cats. Thank you Kiki!
