Westborough – This year’s last day of school was especially poignant for the staff and students at the Elsie A. Hastings Elementary School as they bid goodbye to four staff members. Joan Truesdell, math plus teacher; Alice Callahan, cafeteria; Mary Cullen; kindergarten teacher and Sandy Eckberg, school nurse, are all retiring after years of service in the school.
The students held a special assembly June 18 to honor the retirees, feting them with songs and poems. They also presented them with plants that they had grown in the school garden. The women were then all honored by their colleagues at a luncheon held at the school later that day.
