Mrs Hamilton was a Kindergarten teacher for all her life, but she retired just over a decade ago; her last class recently graduated high school and surprised her on graduation day.

 

United States of America (04 July 2022) – When you sit and think about your schooling years, you will always be able to pinpoint one teacher who stood out and was your absolute favourite. These men and women leave a lasting impression that we carry with us through our adult years.

For Mrs Hamilton, a retired kindergarten teacher, this moment was created for her in real life. Just over a decade ago, she taught her final class. She prepared her group of eager young minds, getting them ready to face all the years of education ahead of them. Teaching them to read and write, to express complex emotions and to adapt to a routine.

Her daughter, Kim Hamilton, along with all the students from her last class, came together to make a plan to surprise the unforgettable teacher. They decided to pop past her house after their high school graduation to celebrate her for her efforts in giving them the best educational foundation.

The moment is an emotional one but filled with untold joys! Mrs Hamilton recognised her students immediately, even though it had been over a decade since seeing them. Now that is the mark of a phenomenal educator!
