Kathy Grahn, our school secretary, has been a fixture at Lewis Elementary School for 21 years. In that time she has served and help support over 1100 students and their families making them feel welcome, and providing comfort, advice and support to thousands of people from across our office counter.
It is with a bittersweet feeling that I share with you the news that at the end of this school year, Kathy will be retiring from Lewis and Portland Public Schools. As all of you know, her work with students, parents, staff and our community has been nothing but exemplary. She is a caring and compassionate advocate for children. Her friendly and caring nature is something that all who work with children aspire to possess.
As we move to the end of the school year we will provide opportunities for our community to acknowledge Kathy and share their appreciation for her work.
We are all grateful for her work, professionalism and friendship. She will be missed...
