BISD Honors Retirees at Annual Breakfast
Beaumont ISD recognized over 50 employees who have given years of service to the District at the annual retirement breakfast on May 17, 2022.
Participants enjoyed a delicious breakfast, music from the Odom Academy Jazz Cats and an individualized well-wish from their supervisor.
“I am a product of BISD. I was an average student, who had to work hard to achieve,” said Amelia second grade teacher Glenda McCray. “For that reason, I never taught my students to be average. I taught them to believe in themselves and shoot for the moon. If they happen to land in the stars or a place where they were not comfortable with, that's OK. Get back up and try again. Thank you, Lord, for the gift to teach!”
The class of 2022 retirees have served many years, most notably West Brook High School teacher and cross country coach Dawn Wilkin, who has worked in education for 45 years. “I plan on doing some traveling, going fishing, playing golf, working in my yard and doing whatever I want to do,” she said.
“Our retirees dedicated more than 1,350 years of service to our students, helping us diligently prepare the next generation for whatever the future may hold, be it college, career or military,” said Executive Director of Human Resources, Derwin Samuels. “The class of 2022 retirees are resilient and their contribution has directly impacted the lives of our students. Thank you for your service.”
Congratulations to the 2021-22 BISD retirees:
