Friends, family, teachers, staff, parents and students surprised Cheryl Ryman (center, with flowers) Thursday afternoon as she left Washington Elementary School.
Ryman, the administrative assistant to the principal at Washington, is retiring after 39 years with Warsaw Community Schools, and her last day was Thursday.
Well-wishers lined up outside of the school to surprise Ryman, giving her a hearty round of applause as she walked out the front door.
Cheryl’s husband, Jerry Ryman (R), retired from Madison Elementary School in 2010 after 40 years in the same classroom.
