Dear Centennial Family,  

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement.  After almost 40 years of teaching, I am excited to start this new chapter of my life, but will miss all the wonderful people that are in the Centennial family.  Thank you for welcoming me into this family in 2008, when the school first opened.  I have so many happy memories of my days at Centennial.  Of course my favorites involve seeing the look of pride come over my students’ faces when they succeeded at something they thought was too hard. Fortunately, this happened often, so I will have many fantastic memories to think about as I relax while laying in the sun.  Thank you for sharing your children with me!  I was lucky to end my formal teaching career (once a teacher, always a teacher) at such an outstanding school.  The Centennial family will be in my thoughts, prayers, and heart always.  

Sincerely, 

Jane Wroblewski, Special Education Teacher
