Name: Laurie Eichert

Position: Second-grade teacher, Hughson Elementary

Years in the district: 20

Favorite memories/accomplishments: I’ve enjoyed working with and getting to know my colleagues at three of Hughson’s schools. I’ve also enjoyed watching the children change and grow up and get excited about learning!

What will you miss the most? I’ll miss the kids. I’ll miss my colleagues, too, but I can always arrange to see them outside of school. I’ll miss the kids the most.

Any special retirement plans? My kids live in New York City and Paris, so I’m sure I'll be spending time in those places when possible. I also plan to drive to many of the beautiful places in California and on the West Coast.
