Mrs. Ikemoto from Reese (K- teacher) will be retiring after 38 years... as well as Mrs. Davis with 24+ years.... makes you wonder why they retire, maybe LUSD class sizes, pink slips and furlough days had anything to do with the decision... anyway Happy Retirement to all our beloved teachers!

Wow. I had Mrs. Watt for Pre-Calc back in the day (more towards the front half of her career). I had no idea she spent every single year in the same exact room. That's amazing!

Wow, nearly 40 years in any profesion is admirable. I remember having Mrs Watt while at Lodi High in the 80's and looking at the list of those to retire I see some names I recall as well, such as Mrs Troglia. I had her while at Woodbridge....wow! I feel old....
