As you all know Miss Jean Martin is retiring on Friday after teaching at Pumpherston & Uphall Station Primary School for the past 41 years. As much I am sure she is looking forward to the next stage of her life I know that Miss Martin will miss being in the school and being with the children every day. It takes someone very special to have taught in the same community for 41 years and at a very emotional assembly in the school yesterday Miss Martin described the school and the communities it serves as ‘being like a special family’. We will all miss her and wish her a very long and happy retirement.
