The Value of a Veteran Teacher
Heralded by the Washington Post as an inspiration to teachers everywhere and named a "Beloved Teacher" by Bethesda Magazine, recently retired 4th grade teacher Sandra Geddes represents the spirit of Westbrook, where children learn to be inquisitive community members.
Many thanks to Westbrook parent Karen Baratz for creating buzz about Ms. Geddes' retirement after 38 magical years of teaching. The FOWS charitable organization has established an initiative to raise funds to dedicate a garden in Mrs. Geddes’ honor in a courtyard of Westbrook’s expansion project.
