Mr. Mudder

            You may or may not have heard, but our beloved P.E. teacher, Mr. Mudder, is retiring. After being in Garretson for 26 years, he decided that this will be his last year of teaching.

            After doing some years of teaching junior high science, he decided to switch to P.E./Health class and has been doing that since. His reason for his retirement was that he needed something new to do. Now that he is retiring from Garretson, his plans now are to be a grandpa and be there for his grandkids, and to get a full-time job at an undecided location. Lastly, when asked what he will miss the most, he said, “the interactions with both the kids and teachers all throughout the day, and also the experiences with all of the kids.”
