Ms. Char Parks spent her entire career at East Allen County Schools after graduating from Taylor University in 1969. She initially retired in 2012 but returned to the classroom five years later after receiving a call asking for her help, she said.
Colleagues gathered for her send-off described her longevity in education as unbelievable.
The Southwick Elementary students and staff lined the halls, clapped and cheered for Ms. Parks to celebrate her retirement after 55+ years! Ms. Parks will made her final victory lap around the school to the tunes 'CELEBRATION' playing over the intercom.
We appreciate you Ms. Parks! CONGRATULATIONS !
