Mrs Sheridan.

Today was a sad day for Twizel Area School.
It was the last official day for our school chaplain Mrs Marion Sheridan, as she has now retired.
She has been the school chaplain for the last 10 years, but her ties to the school go back much further than that as her eight children all went to either Twizel  Primary School, Twizel High School, or when they combined, to Twizel Area School. Now several of her grandchildren attend our school. Mrs Sheridan has been a mentor to many children and has been there to offer a friendly smile or a ready ear to children whose problems have been both big and small. She has also been there to offer support in the classroom and has always been ready and willing to lend a helping hand.
Marion is also known for the book she published about Twizel, called "The Dam Dwellers."

Marion, you will be missed for many a day to come.
