Pat Foss To Retire As Neligh-Oakdale Kindergarten Teacher

Longtime Neligh-Oakdale kindergarten teacher Pat Foss will retire from teaching later this month.

"That one kind of hurts. We definitely wish her the best and will miss her," said Superintendent Scott Gregory. "There's no one who knows kids as well as she does."

The Neligh-Oakdale Board of Education approved Foss's resignation, with regrets.

Gregory said Neligh-Oakdale will not be filling the second kindergarten teaching position. With just 17 kindergarteners next year, Gregory said Shanna Lammers will be the lone kindergarten teacher next fall. The only increase he anticipates is for an additional para for the class.
