The Retirement from LAUSD!

Last night was the Scholarship awards ceremony for the local
community action committee to advance and recognize
disadvantaged kids in the elementary through high school that
made significant achievements.
Each teacher in Terry's school recognizes that child that
made the most significant achievement and improvement
that year. They each received an award certificate and a gift
of $50.
Terry has supported this committee since it began 16 yrs ago. Each year he and
the boys attend and lend their support for the kids.
This year I was able to go and it was inspiring. High school continuation
graduates were recognized for their overcoming hardships to received
their high school diplomas! The first one to go to college came back to volunteer in
the community and was recognized for her contributions!
A member of the School Board, and a friend of Terry's, came and helped
serve dinner for the staff and families.

At the end of the evening, Terry was recognized by the School Board, after
a recommendation by Mr. Zimmer, and presented this award for "his
tireless dedication and outstanding service to the students of the LAUSD".
