 Career
celebration held for Linda Edwards and Linda Newton
Joint party at HFM BOCES draws colleagues, friends, family
and retirees
It's hard enough to say goodbye to one former colleague. The
career celebration at HFM BOCES on Jan. 31 was twice as
emotional when colleagues, friends and families gathered to
honor former HFM BOCES Associate Superintendent Linda
Edwards and Board Clerk Linda Newton.
The joint party honored
Mrs. Edwards, who retired Nov. 30 and Ms. Newton who retired Jan. 31.
HFM
BOCES District Superintendent Dr. Geoffrey H. Davis presided
over the festivities. He praised both of the honored guests for
their dedication to their work, their commitment to accuracy and
for their many contributions that benefited students and staff
alike.
Dr.
Davis couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease Mrs. Edwards --
just a little -- about her many humorous contributions that
helped boost staff morale and made working at HFM BOCES a fun
experience.
Also offering praise to both retirees was HFM BOCES board member
Josie Watts, who attended the celebration along with board
member Bill Finch.
Both Ms. Newton and Mrs. Edwards offered their heartfelt thanks
to those who supported them throughout their years with
HFM BOCES. |
