Feeling truly blessed! Happy to update my RFES School Family that retired life in Florida is wonderful. Surviving Hurricane Ian with no damage to our home, no flooding, & no loss of power feels miraculous. Thank you to those who reached out with care and prayers. #grateful.@rfes

Mission accomplished! We found our retirement dream home in Florida. I loved my teaching career and I will miss the wonderful Rodgers Forge families, but now looking forward to #floridalife! .@RodgersForgeES

First NO SCHOOL Monday FOREVER! What was I thinking when I decided to retire, sell a house, pack up a house, and MOVE to Florida all at the same time? Somehow we're giving it our BEST shot! Enjoying the ride time on the Auto Train to read all my lovely cards. @RodgersForgeES

Thank you to our INCREDIBLE RFES PTA! You've been so supportive to our teachers, students, faculty & staff during my years at Rodgers Forge. It has been a pleasure to work together to make RFES better one day at a time. I will miss everyone at The Forge. @missyfanshaw .@rfespta
