Some New Beginnings
Some people would say that change is good. In some cases they would be right,, but not when we say goodbye to some amazing teachers. This year we must say goodbye to two of our MVP’s of Arno- Jeanine Haskin and Stella Boyer. The mark they have left on us, and the tremendous impact on kids that they have had is immeasurable. We wish them well in their retirement as they begin anew, waiting for their next big adventure. They will always be an Arno Cougar– We will miss you!!!
Jeanine Haskin
Mrs. Haskin’s expertise in early childhood will certainly be felt in our building. Mrs. Haskin has been our Young 5’s teacher and former kindergarten teacher for many years. Her insight into how best to help our youngest learners has been invaluable, her mentorship of staff and many student teachers has been priceless. We wish Mrs. Haskin Congratulations and the very best in retirement, but her presence will be missed by all of our students, staff, and parents.
Stella Boyer
Mrs. Boyer has also been a fixture here at Arno in the special education department. Mrs. Boyer spent many years as our phenomenal speech teacher, helping so many of our students, as well as her current role in life skills our categorical special ed program. Recently, Mrs. Boyer also started a Unified League, which is sports league for Allen Park Schools secondary special education students. This accomplishment brought joy to her students and a sense of accomplishment and was a tremendous hit our parents in Allen Park. Mrs. Boyer’s mission to help her students will be missed at Arno, as well as other buildings in our district, and we wish her Congratulations and the very best in retirement.
