Join us to celebrate Mr. Taylor!
Mr. Taylor is retiring! Join us to celebrate one of the best human beings on the planet. For decades, Mr. Taylor has brought his infectious enthusiasm, conscientious care, and gentle kindness to us and our children, spreading joy throughout our community. He has been the first step of our children's educational journeys, making them feel treasured as they head off to school. What a gift we have been given in this incredible leader! Join us to say thank you and to wish him well on his next chapter.
Please see below for more information on Last Day Bus Stops, the Retirement Party and how you can help!
Two Ways to Celebrate
Last Day Bus Stops
Mr. Taylor's last day of driving will be Thursday, June 4.
Please check in with your neighbors to find out when he comes to your stop and show up with enthusiam! We know everyone has different schedules so feel free to join for either the morning pick-up or afternoon drop-off.
A few ideas:
-
Bring a single flower so that by the end of the routes he has a full bunch
-
Wear blue (his favorite color!)
-
Wear your Team Mr. Taylor gear (it is now too late to order them and receive them in time but you can still order for future wearings through the link below!)
-
Decorate with a yard sign (we are out of the ones we ordered but you can make your own!)
