Two Wabaunsee staff members will be leaving the district for new opportunities.
Technology director Austin Lawrence announced he is leaving after nine years serving on the Wabaunsee staff. Lawrence accepted a job as I.T. Director at Hanover-Barnes-Linn school district in Hanover, where Lawrence and his wife Cindy are from. They plan to build a house and raise their family there. Cindy, who currently teaches fifth grade math and science at Paxico Middle School, will stay until the end of the school year.
“What I’m excited about with this new job is that it’s basically an opportunity to come in and improve another school district,” Lawrence said.
Although Lawrence is excited about this job opportunity, he says he will miss Wabaunsee greatly.
“The things we go through in life are sometimes bittersweet, and we all have them. This is one of those moments for me. I really cannot put into words how great all of you have been over my nine years here. You are a great group of people to work with and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors,” Lawrence said.
English teacher Laura Delfelder will be attending Veterinary School at Kansas State University this fall. She has wanted to be a vet her entire life, so this was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. She is excited to continue her education, because she really enjoys learning. She’ll be at WHS for the rest of the year.
What Delfelder will miss most about teaching is her students.
“I’m gonna miss my students. That’s like the one thing that makes me almost want to cry thinking about,” Delfelder said
“I’m going to miss my English classes, but can’t wait to move onto the next chapter.”
