Our work with you has produced fond friendships, lasting memories and shared battles as we trudged through many years of paperwork!
We will forever admire you for your professionalism, your passion for children, and your calm, friendly demeanor.
Although we will no longer be your colleagues, we will always be your friends.

 I’m a Speech Therapist. This is what I do
by: Anonymous

“I’m a speech-language pathologist – SLP”, I said
“Who? What do you do to earn your bread?”
“Well, I talk, I speak…and that’s what I do…
Looks like you have not the slightest clue!”

I wake up each morning with a big smile
Feeling awesomeness about treading every mile
And along my path, I meet the young and old
Helping them overcome their communication challenges as their skills unfold.

To my young kiddos, I play a silly clown
Sharing laughs as I jump up and down
Natural fun opportunities for communication I create
I teach parents how to be a good play mate
“Follow their lead” is what I often say
They will learn to communicate if they enjoy your play!

I help those who don’t sound very clear
I offer intense practice to which they must adhere
I work with those who stutter and struggle to say what they say
Building communicative confidence all along the way!
I teach good use of one’s voice
Eliminating patterns that cause the vocal folds to make noise!

For those who’ve had a head injury or suffered from a stroke
For those who while eating food, often cough and choke
An SLP is someone who can help you
Restoring the quality of life as you learn skills anew!
Using your interests to do what you want to do
We build communication with goals tailored to you.

We counsel, we research, and we teach
In multiple settings we can be reached
We work hard so our clients can achieve their communication goals
As we take on one too many roles.
There’s always something different, always something new
And like you can tell…‘talking’ is not the only thing we do!
Yes we are SLP’s and for that we are proud
To serve with dedication and integrity we have vowed.

 You are missed!
by: Julie Henderson

Sherry,
I am so happy for you! I know you are enjoying your time at home with your sweet family and four-legged babies. We miss you very much in our little department. I always knew that I depended on you a lot for advice and paperwork issues, but I never knew how much until you were gone! I catch myself all the time thinking, "Let me go ask, Sherry" when I have an issue. Please know that you are missed, and please come visit. Congratulations again!

 Well Deserved !
by: Cheryl

Congratulations on your retirement. It seems so odd not to see you walking down the hallways or sitting at the table with us during faculty meetings. We miss you immensely, but you certainly deserve a break from all of the paperwork ! Enjoy this well-deserved long term vacation. Remember, retirement is not the end. It is the beginning of the next chapter in your life and knowing you, I'm sure you have many books to write. It has been great working with you over the years. Stay in touch.

 This is not good-bye!
by: Nona

Well, Sherry, I guess we'll just have to meet up at dog shows and get-togethers! I'll miss seeing your smiling face at District functions and, of course, at SCSHA! You'll have to come with us just for old times sake! It was my lucky day when I signed that contract at District 5 and found you as my friend.

I'll try to join you in retirement as soon as I can!
