“I took over as the ERFC ambassador at Bush Hill Elementary when the former ambassador switched schools. I didn’t know a lot about the position but thought it would be an excellent opportunity to assist colleagues in their retirement process. Last spring, I worked with my first retiring colleague—a staff member who had been at Bush Hill for over 30 years! It was truly an honor to help someone who had given so much to Bush Hill and FCPS. Be sure to check out your ERFC online account to access all your benefit information and resources.” |
