2026 Clintonville Public School District Retirees! Thank you for your dedication and years of service!
Ann Waniger
Ann has been a dedicated Clintonville educator who has touched the lives of so many students, fellow staff members, and families.
Ann takes time to get to know her students and cares deeply for each and every one of them.
Ann’s love for pink and flamingos will be greatly missed in the purple hallway!
Suzette Fountain
Suzette is one of the kindest and most caring people I know.
Suzette wears her heart on her sleeve and will become a mamabear for any of her students!
She really gives a lot of these students a loving/caring adult role model to feel supported here at the school, someone who is outside the traditional educator's role, and when kids feel safe and connected, then they can come back to focus on learning.
Tara Sivertson
Teacher, friend, mother, wife, sister, daughter, and survivor.
Tara is an incredible educator. Any students she worked with during her time at CES were well cared for and deeply loved.
Tara is the definition of a team player and we cherish the time we got to spend working with her.
While we miss her daily presence, smile, and laughter more than words can say, we are so thankful she is getting time to spend with people she loves the most, her family. We hope retirement continues to be full of amazing vacations, beautiful sunsets, and all of her favorite things. We love you!
Tricia Charles
Kind, caring, and Creative
CES really benefited from your charm and educational knowledge.
Willing to give a helping hand.
We love that you always smile and greet your kids. They are so lucky to have had you as their teacher!
Shelly Battenberg
I am grateful to work alongside someone as dedicated and caring as Shelly.
Her passion for working with children shines through in everything they do.
She consistently creates a positive, supportive environment where kids feel valued, encouraged, and safe.
Shelly is always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter the task.
She goes above and beyond to support the team, stepping in whenever needed and always offering kindness, encouragement, and a positive attitude.
She was the voice for us paras at meetings.
It is a privilege to work with someone who demonstrates such dedication, selflessness, and genuine care every day.
Shelly, you will be truly missed by everyone at CES! May you enjoy your retirement, especially spending more time with your grandchildren.
