Taymore To Get Big Honkin' Sendoff

MELROSE, MA — Superintendent Cyndy Taymore has said she never expected to end her long public education career during a pandemic. But in two weeks, she'll be doing just that.

Taymore is retiring at the end of the month, giving way to Julie Kukenberger. Because of the coronavirus, there won't be a normal opportunity for everyone Taymore touched in her career to celebrate her retirement. So people are getting creative.

On Wednesday, June 17, at 12:30 p.m., Melrose families and the school district staff and community are invited to drive by the high school/middle school/central administration complex.

Anyone interested should meet in the parking lot behind the middle school at noon. A caravan will go down Melrose Street into the high school parking lot, around the building by the central administration, exit in front of the middle school on Lynn Fells Parkway, on Tremont Street and back on Melrose Street.

Participants are invited to be seen and heard: Decorate your vehicles and beep your horns.
