Maybe. For the past 23 years Ms Prentice has been a fixture at the small Prince Albert Public School and has decided, after much deliberation, that it's time to move on. "It was a big decision for me, and I'm not sure what I'll do with my time. I know I'm going to slow down a bit, do some relax- ing, and maybe choose a new direction for my career," she said last Friday during an inter- view in her Learning Strategies classroom. "A friend around the same age as me has retired and I thought maybe it was time for me to go too, but I wasn't sure," she said, adding that she will do some trav- elling. "I've really enjoyed my time here... everywhere I've taught. I'll sure miss it," said Mrs. Prentice. "Maybe I will do some sup- ply teaching here and there; there are some other schools I might try." Listing the schools she's worked at during her days in the classroom, Mrs. Prentice becomes somewhat reminiscent and seems to enjoy recall- ing the schools where she helped children grow. "I've been here for 23 years now," she said, run- ning off the names of seven principals she's seen while there. "And before that I was off for five years with my family, and I taught Grade 3 for one year in North York and Grade 1 at Scott Central in Stouffville. We (husband Murray) were married in 1966, and then we lived in Richmond Hill. "I started off teaching for four years at Harmony in Oshawa, and another year at Vincent Massey there as well." Mrs. Prentice's tenure Career spanned more than 30 years at Prince Albert began as a temporary placement, but soon became a full- time job. "When I first started I was filling in for a mater- nity leave between December and June, and it was then I knew I want- ed to keep going," she said. "I already had one course so I went to school and took another one over the summer."

Her teaching career has even taken her to Australia, where she took part in a teacher exchange in Adelaide. While she wasn't a certified teacher and could not participate full-time, she did spend some time doing supply teaching in Grades 1 to 7. Mrs. Prentice thanks a Grade 9 teacher who con- vinced her to pursue a teaching career. "I decided I wanted to 3 gus PERIODONTIST rs.

"I've never really thought about other careers too much because I love doing what I do. "It's very rewarding when students learn to actually read or they get a good mark on their test. No matter how big or small a gain they make, it's always a pleasure to see them succeed."
