Mrs. Hilton retires from Elementary School Contributed by: Maria Haynes and LaShawn Williams

Retiring is a time of life when a person chooses to leave the workforce behind. This past year, Mrs. Hilton re-tired from Farrell Area School District, leaving her full-time career as a secre-tary for the elementary school. I got to sit down with Mrs. Hilton and ask her a couple of questions about what she would do after retirement from her secretarial post.
She has been working as a secretary for Farrell Area Schools for 40 years of her life. She let me know that she wouldn’t change anything about her job. She enjoyed working here and she loved the environment.
One thing she said she will miss the most is the students. She add-

ed that they were the highlight of her day. When asked if she would have seen herself in any other line of work, she re-plied that she would’ve loved to be a travel agent.
As she goes forward with her life she will like to travel and go see different parts of the world. Leaving is a very hard decision for her. She is very sad about retiring but says that it is a bittersweet feeling for her.
The most rewarding aspect of her job has been watching the kids grow and graduate and go off to college. She left advice for the new secretary to be patient and love the students.
FASD thanks you and wishes you a wonderful retire-ment!

Mrs. Smoot retires, looks forward to new chapter

BY Arianna Blanchard

Mrs. Cheryl Smoot is retiring from Farrell Area School Dis-trict at the end of this academic year. She has been working with us students, staff, and the school district since
1989. She has been here for 32 years in total. Mrs. Smoot reflected about how she
enjoys her job very much. She explained that she had started out working in the High School of Farrell Area School District, and then was transferred throughout the middle school and elementary schools. She shared that, “The reason why I enjoy my job is because I have the ability to help students individually on what they struggle with, and to also be there for each individually.” Mrs. Smoot does both special education and learning support.
I asked her if she looked forward to her retirement and she responded, “I feel as if it's time to move forward to the next chapter. I've seen grandchildren of the students I taught in the past.”
Some of her fondest memories
throughout the years include, “The awesome staff lunches held once a month. It gave me a chance to relax in a nice social seting, it made us come closer together and allowed us to have a good time.”
Mrs. Smoot conveyed to me that it has been a rewarding job, and that she would do it ALL over again. “Helping people just made me feel good about my job. Yes, I would do it all over again

Volume 2 Issue 7

with no hesitation.”
Everybody has a purpose even if you're unsure of what it is just yet. Mrs. Smoot found that her purpose was to model for students who share common experience. “My purpose would be a role model, mentor, and a support to the students that need it.”
She said that after retiring she's going to be able to spend more time with her grandchildren and her friends and family that also are retired. She wants to rediscover herself, “I think it is the time now to redis-cover who I am other than an educator. I'll miss the interactions with students but I know that I am leav-ing them in good hands.”
I asked her how Mr. Smoot felt about her retirement. “He's happy for me,” she said.
Her plans after retirement are, to sleep in a little long-er, travel more, and to enjoy life for what it is and what she can make it.
Even though her years of working for Farrell Area School District are now over Cheryl Smoot stated, “I will miss working with the school, it was a big part of my life's work. I feel life has happened and now it's
time for my life to happen.” Lastly, Mrs. Cheryl Smoot replied that, “Working with the youth here has been the most rewarding thing that I could do. They are brilliant and I wish them well because I know they are capable of great things.”
FASD thanks you and wishes you a wonderful retirement!

School days are drift-ing away into the summertime. With the summer quickly ap-proaching, you may be looking for something fun to do. Why not participate in the summer C.O.O.L.? Students in middle and elementary school can sign up for the summer C.O.O.L. program. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mrs. Gargano (right) about the program.
Mrs. Gargano was
originally the administrative assistant for the elementary school. She recently came up to the high school as the C.O.O.L. Director for

both Sharon and Farrell. She comments that it is an interesting, yet educa-tional experience. This post entails organizing and running the program (for both schools), making sure everything is planned over smoothly. She coordinates the activities with the partners such as Buhl Park, Power UP, ATP, and TOPS. Her plan for C.O.O.L. is to continue coordinating it the way it's been. Overall, she is excited to see the kids and program
grow.
The program offers help with math, ELA, science, and social studies. It also offers

Option...

social emotional learning which promotes and allows students to develop their emo-tional intelligence. There are numerous activ-ities being developed, such as painting pots, making friendship bracelets, tie dying, and you can participate in coding. The activities for summer consist of going on virtual field trips and exploring the outside community with the help of current partners. C.O.O.L. is “school with a fun twist," you can hang out with your friends, participate in fun activities, and receive extra help in subject areas.
If you are interested in C.O.O.L., you can receive a permission slip from the ofice. Then, have your parents sign it and return it. Any questions, contact Mrs. Gar-gano or the ofice.

Students learned about reactive elements and which ones create combustion by allowing Mrs. Guth to “set them on fire.”
