As the school year comes to a close, many are looking forward to summer break before returning to school in August.  At Jean McNair, there will be four faces missing when everyone returns this fall.  The end of the 2012-2103 school year finds four teachers retiring with a combined 97 years among them working in the Winnebago School District.

It’s hard to believe the school year is near completion! Time for vacations, swimming, camping…time to make those appointments for school physicals.

After Many Years…We Say Goodbye. . . . Mr. Mandera and the Dorothy Simon Staff are losing two great members of our Simon staff to retirement.

What a wonderful year it has been! I appreciated all of your smiles and laughs throughout the school year. I wanted to take a moment to tell all of you, “Thank you.”

Thank you to all the volunteers that assisted at Dorothy Simon Elementary this year. You supplied your time and effort to assist with our children this year.
