For some staffers at Fulton Elementary, the end of this school year means a big change for them namely, retirement. They are: second grade teacher Elaine Bosserman, music teacher Kimberly McSweeney, GT resource teacher Marcy McSkimming, the secretary to the principal, Jan Wilson, media para-educator Gina Klatte and custodian Carolyn Cornish. Thank you for all you have done over the course of your career and in particular, for our children at Fulton. May your retirement be as fulfilling for you as your careers were.
Another change that will take place is that third-grade teacher Megan Brown will be taking a leave of absence, and Inez Gaynor-Vessels will be leaving to join the staff at Guilford Elementary School.
