As the end of the school year approaches, many of us are preparing for summer break. Some of our colleagues, however, are preparing for retirement.

With that in mind, we gathered some inspiring retirement quotes for teachers that you can print, send, sign in a card, and more! Thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do.
