Top 10 Things we Miss After Retiring from the LBPSB
submitted by L’ARSE
The Association of Retired School Educators (L’ARSE) was asked to create a list of the top 10 things retired school board employees missed about working at the Board. So we went to the source – retired employees. Maybe you can suggest more reasons!
10) The energy in the school building.
9) The hum of children’s voices.
8) Outdoor education, canoe trips with students, building quinzees in the snow.
7) interacting with students outside of class time – at recess, lunch, or after school.
6) Seeing the joy on a student’s face as they figure out something they’ve been struggling with.
5) Visiting the schools and supporting their teachers.
4) The day-to-day routine, and knowing what day and date it is.
3) Union rep weekends in the Laurentians.
2) Extra-curricular sports and activities.
1) The camaraderie with talented colleagues – friendships which have lasted a lifetime.
