Retired educators
On Friday, Sept. 21, Youngsville Elementary/Middle School hosted its 2nd Annual Retired Educator Luncheon for former educators of the Pittsfield and Youngsville school community. Twenty-two retired educators accepted the invitation to come back to the school and visit with prior colleagues and current faculty and staff of Youngsville. This celebration was dedicated to all the retired educators of the Pittsfield and Youngsville school communities for their years of educating our children. The current faculty and staff of Youngsville Elementary/Middle School thank these educators and those who could not attend for their many years of commitment to the Warren County School District. This celebration will continue each year with hope of a greater turn-out each and every year.
