Lisa Waite's Retirement Party

I remember it like yesterday when I first ever walked through the doors of Faubion Middle School, anxiously awaiting my interview. It was that day when I met Lisa Waite, whom I call my comforter during the whole process, with each and every question she smiled and nodded; she had the softest, most sweetest voice. Last year, I had the pleasure of working along side of her and she's been the ELAR department chair for all three of my years at FMS. Her husband, Dr. Robert Waite, is our A/P.

About a month ago, she came to my room and let me know that she was officially retiring. She spent eight years in Memphis, seventeen years in Highland Park, and nine years in McKinney--THIRTY-FOUR years! It's definitely our loss, but when God tells you do to something; you obey. I am so thankful that God put Lisa in my life to be such a great, Christian role-model and master teacher example. And, Lisa is going to be a first-time grandmother, so she'll definitely enjoy staying home with her new grandbaby in November. Congratulations, Lisa Carol! Love you!
