Retirement Dinner


Patsy Pike, Debbie York, Carolyn Jones and Dr. Greg Little

Mount Airy City Schools recently honored retirees with a dinner.  This year six employees were recognized for their years of hard work and dedication.  Retirees include: Debbie York, teaching assistant, Carolyn Jones, teaching assistant, Patsy Pike, first grade teacher, Teresa Journey, teaching assistant, Bob Chilton, choral teacher and Elaine Hauser, accounts payable. 

Together these retirees contributed more than 120 years to children.  To thank them, Mount Airy City Schools presented them with a corsage and gift.  Ms. Lovell, principal of Tharrington Primary, took time to speak about her employees and wish them the best during their retirement. 

We thank you for your service!
