Sheldon Community School District wishes Kathy Arnold all the best as she begins her retirement after 25 years of dedicated service at East Elementary.
Kathy's final day was filled with fun, laughter, and special memories. The celebration included the unveiling of a "statue" in her honor that will keep watch over the hallways next year, and Kathy took one last trip down the slide—officially "sliding into retirement!" Staff even snuck clothing from Kathy's house and dressed like her for the day, creating plenty of smiles and memorable moments.
Thank you, Kathy, for the countless lives you have impacted over the years. We are grateful for your dedication to our students, staff, and school community. Congratulations, and enjoy this exciting new chapter!
