December​ ​14,​ ​2017 To​ ​Tuckahoe​ ​School​ ​Board,​ ​Parents​ ​&​ ​Children, I​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​announce​ ​my​ ​retirement​ ​as​ ​your​ ​school​ ​crossing​ ​guard effective​ ​December​ ​22,​ ​2017.​ ​ ​It​ ​has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​pleasure​ ​to​ ​look​ ​after​ ​the​ ​children over​ ​the​ ​past​ ​seven​ ​years,​ ​and​ ​working​ ​for​ ​the​ ​town​ ​of​ ​Eastchester​ ​for​ ​over​ ​26 years. I​ ​have​ ​worked​ ​in​ ​different​ ​capacities​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Tuckahoe​ ​Schools,​ ​first​ ​as a​ ​server​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Cottle​ ​School​ ​cafeteria​ ​in​ ​which​ ​I​ ​watched​ ​my​ ​two​ ​sons​ ​grow and​ ​graduate​ ​from​ ​Tuckahoe​ ​High​ ​School.​ ​As​ ​a​ ​parent​ ​I​ ​loved​ ​the​ ​small, close-knit​ ​atmosphere​ ​of​ ​the​ ​school. Now​ ​one​ ​of​ ​my​ ​sons​ ​who​ ​graduated​ ​and​ ​married​ ​another​ ​Tuckahoe alumni​ ​has​ ​a​ ​future​ ​Tuckahoe​ ​student​ ​who​ ​will​ ​be​ ​attending​ ​Tuckahoe schools.​ ​Of​ ​course,​ ​I’m​ ​referring​ ​to​ ​my​ ​grandson. ​ ​My​ ​wish​ ​is​ ​to​ ​be​ ​with​ ​my​ ​grandson​ ​and​ ​possibly​ ​be​ ​a​ ​future grandparent​ ​saying​ ​hello​ ​to​ ​the​ ​new​ ​crossing​ ​guard​ ​as​ ​I​ ​come​ ​to​ ​drop​ ​off​ ​and pick​ ​up​ ​my​ ​grandson. I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​thank​ ​all​ ​the​ ​parents​ ​who​ ​have​ ​been​ ​so​ ​kind​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​hot​ ​tea​ ​or hot​ ​chocolate​ ​on​ ​those​ ​and​ ​windy​ ​days. I​ ​wish​ ​everyone​ ​a​ ​happy​ ​and​ ​healthy​ ​new​ ​year! Respectfully, Linn​ ​Davey
