GARNETT — Garnett first-grade teacher Susan Stanton says she remembers when a mimeograph machine and film strips and projectors were the high-tech way to teach students when she began her career in the 1970s. Now when computers and Power-Points are the tools of the teaching trade, Stanton is retiring after 40 years. Stanton told the Anderson County Review that many parents have begged her to stay one more year so she can teach their children. But she said it’s time to hang up her gradebook. But she said she’ll miss the magic when young children are excited about learning. A reception for Stanton will be this afternoon 3:30 to 5:30 in the multipurpose room at Irving Primary Center in Garnett.
Thursday, May 13, 1:30 p.m.
