We would like to wish Jeanne Hierholzer a very happy retirement! Jeanne dedicated 36.5 years to teaching and was an original Sunrise staff member, helping open the school 28 years ago.
When asked about her favorite memories, Jeanne shared that there are simply too many special moments to choose from. She says, “I have enjoyed my Sunrise family — staff, students, and parents.”
In retirement, Jeanne plans to travel and go camping!
Congratulations on your retirement, Jeanne. We will miss you at Sunrise!

We want to wish a staple at Sunrise, Barbara Case, a happy retirement!! Here is her message:

It is bittersweet leaving my “2nd home” at Sunrise Elementary!

I started teaching at Sunrise when I moved to Florida in the year 2000. My first year there were over 1400 students on our campus! We had 34 portables in back of the school just to have enough classroom space for everyone! While things have changed over the years, the one constant has been all the wonderful people I have met along the way. Sunrise is truly an amazing place!

I will miss my PreK students. I love seeing them grow and get ready for their future school years! Their sweet smiles and embrace of learning has been a joy to watch!

My retirement will begin with unsetting the alarm clock 😊 followed by travel up north (back home to New York State), some home improvement projects, and a lot of rest, recuperation and enjoyment!

Happy Summer,
Mrs. Case
