Jane Garneau, long-time employee at Minnetonka High School, is retiring at the end of this year.
Jane, even before her employment at MHS, had a history of reaching out, supporting, and helping needy kids in the Minnetonka community. Since many of these kids turned out to be Mini-Schoolers, Jane’s involvement with Mini-School, on a volunteer basis, was strong and good. During her employment at MHS, she’s been a good friend and counselor to many Mini-Schoolers. She’s provided clothes for Mini-School Homecoming King and Queen candidates, she’s been a speaker at Mini-School Recognition Night, and she’s managed the Mini-School booster fund, the main Mini-School trip fund.
It would be hard to find someone who has touched all aspects of Minnetonka High School more than Jane has in her time here. We like to think she’s had a special spot in her heart for Mini-School, but she’s such a neat person she’s probably able to make everyone feel that way.
Good bye, Jane, and thanks for the smiles, the laughs, the words of encouragement and support, the caring and love. Like everyone else around here, we sure will miss you.
