Two employees received special honors last night: Gary Bentley and Bobbie Howard. These two employees will be retiring at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. Mr. Bentley served the students and community of Eustace for 29 years. Mrs. Howard had a total of 20 years of service to EISD. I want to thank both of these employees for their dedication and devotion to the students, staff, and community of Eustace.
The School Bell Award was also presented last night. The School Bell Award goes to a community member that has provided outstanding service to the school district. The recipient of the 2009-2010 School Bell Award was Rusty Pharmakis. I want to thank Mr. Pharmakis for his service to EISD throughout the 09-10 school year. Mr. Pharmakis has been instrumental in work that has been done at the Primary courtyard. He has also served as an officer of the Band Boosters this year.
Finally, I want to thank Jake Lucas for sharing her letter with all the employees last night.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
