Virtual celebration held in honor of retiring school district educators

Fourteen School District of Fort Atkinson educators, all of whom will be retiring at the end of this school year, were honored Thursday as part of a Virtual Retirement Celebration. 

They include: Cassandra Jacobs, Kevin Marshall, Sandy McClain, Jean Temperly, Sabine Bottum, Curt Brokmeier, James Dorn, Patty Snyder, Bette Delsarte, Jude Hartwick, Theo Hanson, Kris England, Craig Engstrom and Mike Hall. 

During the ceremony, School District of Fort Atkinson Superintendent Robert Abbott thanked the retirees for their years of service. 

“We extend our deepest gratitude to our retirees. They are pillars in the intimate structure of our schools and community,” Abbott said. 

Abbott extended the district’s gratitude to the families of the retiring educators, saying: “Pouring one’s life into shaping our youth is a calling that comes with enormous responsibility. The family support you have provided has most certainly influenced the many successes and accomplishments of our retirees.” 

Abbott wished the retirees a “long and lasting sense of great accomplishment,” and “fond memories of their life’s work.” 

“Our retirees will continue to be a kindling force in the lives of those they have served. Each of them will always be a valued member of the School District of Fort Atkinson family,” he said.
