Please help us wish Sara Lund a wonderful retirement. She is retiring after 25 years as a Speech Para at Atchison Elementary School. Sara plans to fish, work outside in her garden and flowers, and spend as much time with family as possible.
Sara says, "Thank you, 409, for giving me an opportunity to make a positive difference in our students' education in Speech therapy." Enjoy retirement, Sara!
