silvergoldmagazine.ca COMMUNITY 60 YEAR CELEBRATION! Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Retired Women Teachers of Ontario. Vintage School Office “What did school mean to you? To me, it meant everything! It was there I developed my love of art, music, poetry, and the imagination and creativity that have served me well throughout life. It was my wonderful grade two teacher, Miss Hatfield – with the lavender hair, and clothing I found so irresistible – who was responsible for my love of fashion and colour today, and who inspired me to become a teacher, with her warmth, encouragement, and patience. I still remember her inviting my Mom and I for tea one Saturday, influencing me to continue lifelong relationships with many of my own students, and their families. Teachers inspire, and help you reach for the stars!” King Edward School –Hope Leon, President, Hamilton-Wentworth Branch Bennetto School Adelaide Hoodless School Vintage School Cla
