Each year, the Pierre School District hosts a Retirement Recognition Tea to honor retiring staff members. Due to extenuating circumstances, this year the Tea had to be canceled. These are this year’s retirees:
Lynne Guthrie– 5th Grade Teacher, Buchanan– 36 Years of Service to Pierre School District.
Lynne attended Riggs High School and graduated in 1979. She then went on to Northern State College in Aberdeen, SD. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Special Education and began working with the Pierre School District at McKinley Elementary in 1984. “I have been blessed to be part of this school district for all my life. It has been a wonderful experience. I am so very thankful I was given the opportunity to help kids learn and grow throughout my career!”
