🌟 Celebrating a True Legend: Carol Burton 🌟
Yesterday, we said a very special, bittersweet farewell to the one and only Carol Burton who retires after 23 extraordinary years at Churchfields!
It is impossible to put into words just how much Carol means to our school community but we will give it a go.
🎓 Impeccable Service- For over two decades, Carol has been right at the heart of Churchfields. Always going above and beyond enabling the children and staff to excel at what they do.
🌱 Nurturing Support- Carol has guided and supported countless children, encouraging them every step of the way. She knows every child in the school and has always gone out of her way to make sure they are happy and feel listened to and cared for.
🤝 An Unsung Hero- A steadfast support to our teachers and an absolute rock to Mrs Genner. We truly couldn't ask for a better Teaching Assistant, or more importantly, a better friend. Carol you are the most beautiful and brilliant of people. We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done during your time at the school.
Churchfields is going to feel a whole lot quieter without you, Carol.
We are going to miss your infectious laugh echoing down the corridors, your constant cheer that brightened even the busiest days, your incredible organisation that kept us all on track, and above all, your unwavering love for our children, families, and staff.
It simply won't be the same without you around. You are truly one in a million. 💛✨
The legend has officially left the building! 👑
Please join us in wishing Carol the happiest, most relaxing retirement—she has certainly earned it!
