For some it may be a golf course or beach which calls them out of retirement. But for one retired teacher, it’s the opportunity to get back into a classroom that is the lure.
For the past year, Don Roemer, a Franklin resident and retired teacher from the Wayland Public School system, has volunteered as a part-time teacher working alongside a few full-timers at Franklin High School, in a pilot program he proposed last October to Franklin Superintendent of Schools Wayne Ogden.
The Milford Daily News did a story on his public service and the pilot program. You can see the full story by clicking here. The story is accompanied by a video which can be viewed by clicking the image below or clicking here.
Our thanks and gratitude go out to Mr. Roemer. This is a classic win-win situation, giving our high school students an opportunity to get some extra guidance, and a retired teacher the opportunity to get back into the classroom.
