The atmosphere was filled with warmth and gratitude as the board celebrated the retirements of Deb and Mary Anne, both of whom have dedicated decades to nurturing the minds of young learners.

Deb, who recently became a grandmother for the first time, was recognized for her unwavering commitment to education and her deep roots in the community. Having moved from Brooklyn to Freehold to raise her family, she has always cherished her heritage while embracing her new home. As she looks forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and traveling with her husband, the board expressed their heartfelt thanks for her years of service, wishing her a long and fulfilling retirement.

Mary Anne, another pillar of the Freehold Township School District, was celebrated for her 23 years of dedicated service. A lifelong learner, she balanced her teaching career with raising four children and caring for her elderly father. Known for her roles in teaching math, financial literacy, and STEM, Mary Anne has left an indelible mark on her students. As she prepares for retirement, she plans to travel with her husband, Craig, and focus on her health following a double knee replacement. The board acknowledged her tireless efforts and wished her the best in her future adventures.

As the meeting concluded, the board's appreciation for these educators resonated throughout the room, leaving a lasting impression on all present. Their legacies will undoubtedly continue to inspire both students and colleagues in the Freehold Township School District for years to come.
