A Note From Thelma Celestino......
I will be retiring on December 18th after 30 years in SAISD as Teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, Assistant Principal, Principal and the last seven years as Library Director.
I still have too much energy, passion and excitement in my life to really "retire" so with that said, I am planning to start writing the first book of my family memoirs as migrant workers! So, as you see, I will continue with my love of reading and now writing library books!
It's been an honor in working with all of you for the last seven years as Library Media Services Director and thank you for your continued support with our SAISD LMS office and campus libraries! Keep up your excellent work and I will miss all of you!
