The people who attend are all retired from Rio Linda Union School District (or Twin Rivers USD if it was after 2003). The group is definitely shrinking as we all keep getting older.

An annual event that everyone totally enjoys. Almost everyone is a retired teacher/employee from Rio Linda Union School District, before or somewhat after it morphed into Twin Rivers Unified School District.

Thank you, Val. It was, as always, a great party!
Almost everyone at the party was a retired teacher or staff person of some sort in the now-extinct Rio Linda Union School District or the current Twin Rivers Unified School District.
We met at Adrienne’s. We are all retired teachers from RLUSD/TRUSD, except Ellen was a speech therapist. All of us did CELDT testing last September/October, except for Linda who works part-time as a teacher for home-schoolers. Back row L-R: Val, Adrienne, Georgene, Linda, Ellen.
Terrible picture. I need a new camera, but being the terrible shopper I am, it’s taking a long time.
First, a health update. The prescribed antibiotics were too strong for my body to tolerate. I had several symptoms of overdosing, so my regular doctor said to stop immediately. It took another couple days to recover from that. By last Monday, I felt 100% again which was also the first day of a very cool 6-day job for Twin Rivers Unified School District.
Val Sills, Mike Wade and I were asked to develop powerpoints for teachers to use to prepare students for CELDT testing.
It’s been fun working on this project and visiting in between.
