Dear Brewster Families,

Today marks my final day serving this incredible district and the close of a 31-year journey in education. As I reflect on my time here, my heart is filled with gratitude.

It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to work alongside your children, your families, and this community. Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching students learn, grow, graduate, and build families of their own. In some cases, I have even had the joy of serving multiple generations—first your children, and later your grandchildren. Those experiences are gifts I will always cherish.

Thank you for trusting me, supporting our schools, and sharing your children with us each day. The relationships, memories, celebrations, and even the challenges we worked through together have shaped me both personally and professionally.

Brewster is a special place because of its people. I will always be grateful for the kindness, resilience, and sense of community that make this district so remarkable.

As I begin this next chapter, please know that I will carry the students, families, staff, and community of Brewster with me always. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your lives and for making my career so meaningful.

With sincere appreciation and gratitude,

Lynnette Blackburn
