DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING TRIBUTES: June, 13 2023 at 10:00 AM
Dear Friend of Temima,
Temima, The Richard and Jean Katz High School for Girls, is blessed with an extremely dedicated staff. Mrs. Rhonda Graiser exemplifies this dedication. From the day Temima opened 26 years ago, Mrs. Graiser has worn a myriad of "hats" in support of our school. She has served as Chair of the Math Department, taught every level and grade of math, and authored and taught Temima's signature Consumer Economics class.
Mrs. Graiser's attention to Temima extended far beyond the classroom walls. Temima successfully became an accredited institution under her able guidance. Every year she created an intricate schedule which ensured that each student would gain the most of her day in school, without having to be in two places at the same time. In a school where students are tracked, this is a gargantuan feat indeed. And while it would seem impossible for any more roles to be played on the Temima stage, Mrs. Graiser also provided guidance and direction for the next chapter of a Temima student's education by serving as the college advisor and overseeing dual enrollment, navigating the requirements for the Hope scholarship, and sharing advice on college options. It is clear that Mrs. Graiser has had a lifelong impact on our students.
After more than a quarter of a century of service to Temima, Mrs. Rhonda Graiser is retiring from her teaching role. We owe her a debt of gratitude for all the effort she has invested in our community. Mrs. Graiser is allowing us to recognize her at our upcoming graduation on June 15, 2023. At that time we will be presenting her a tribute book which will provide an opportunity to celebrate all of her efforts. You will find the Tribute Ad Blank above.
Thank you so much for participating with us as we celebrate Mrs. Graiser's everlasting contribution to Temima. We are all happy to "doff our hats" in appreciation for her loyalty and devotion.
