It is hard to put into words what these incredible individuals mean to Glynn County Schools. ❤️
This week, we gathered for a retirement luncheon to celebrate our 2025-26 retirees as they prepare to begin their next chapter. From the classrooms to the school buses, the cafeterias to the front offices, these staff members have poured their hearts into our children for years. They haven’t just done a job; they have shaped futures, wiped away tears, cheered on milestones, and left a lasting legacy of love in our schools.
The afternoon was filled with sweet memories, inspiring words, a moving musical performance by Glynn Academy’s Landon LaRoche, and a special award presentation for each retiree.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Marshland Credit Union for beautifully sponsoring this luncheon, and to Righton Books for gifting our retirees a special discount for their first official "retirement reads."
To our retirees: You will be missed more than you know. Thank you for dedicating your lives to our students and our community. May this next chapter be your happiest one yet!
