Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Mrs. Beverly Gilmartin, TePee Program Director and teacher, will be
retiring after 24 years in the Hanover Schools. Hundreds of Hanover
kindergarten students and children of Hanover Schools staff have had
the opportunity to have been a part of this unique, self-supporting
program. Whether at the soccer field, the grocery store, or at Hanover
Mall, whenever the words “TePee” or “Mrs. Gilmartin” were
mentioned, it was sure to put a smile on the faces of everyone around.
For many years, it was considered “Hanover’s biggest secret”
because it was the only program in town of its kind. Not only did the
program provide a service to the residents of Hanover who had
kindergarten children, it opened up an opportunity for Hanover
teachers and staff to have their preschoolers in a safe, learning
environment within their teaching district.
And now, we say goodbye to Mrs. Gilmartin and her TePee Program as
they both retire in June. If you would like to share an experience or
simply wish Mrs. Gilmartin a happy retirement, please send an e-mail
or handwritten note to Susan Rossi at snlwm69@aol.com
or 69 Outlook Road, Marshfield, MA 02050 by June 8th. Whether you are
a parent, a former high school student, or a former TePee student, she
would love to hear from you. A retirement party is being held in her
honor at the Halifax Country Club on Friday evening, June 22nd, from
6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. If you are interested in attending, please
call or e-mail Marie Dinneen at 781 878-7486 or ree168@yahoo.com
or Pat Stone at 781-878-6096 or
patstone9@yahoo.com
.
(Editor’s note: My daughter was one of the very lucky students of
Beverly Gilmartin’s TePee Program, so I thought I would start off
the accolades by wishing Mrs. Gilmartin nothing but the best in her
retirement…just as she always gave “her” kids nothing but the
best. Bev – you rock, and you are so loved in this house!
Congratulations and all the best in this new chapter of your life!
