In this heartfelt episode of Cool Cat Teacher Talk, we reflect on the remarkable careers of Mrs. Grace Adkins, who retired at age 94 after 77 years in education, and Mrs. Sharon Howard, who taught kindergarten for 44 years. These veteran educators share invaluable lessons on resilience, compassion, and the love of learning that every teacher can carry into their own classroom. Listen for timeless wisdom on creating a positive impact in students' lives. These women are spunky, vibrant women.
The episode with Grace Adkins was recorded five years before Mrs. Adkins retired when she was 89. She was my 4th grade teacher and colleague for 16 years. Mrs. Howard was my colleague at Sherwood Christian Academy and is such an amazing woman!
