TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND CATHAY CANNON RODGERS FOR HER THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF DEDICATION TO HER STUDENTS AT AMBLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN PICKENS, UPON HER RETIREMENT FROM TEACHING AND TO WISH HER THE FINEST JOYS IN LIFE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

Whereas, Cathay Cannon Rodgers, upon completion of her studies at Clemson University in 1974, began her long and remarkable career in teaching various subjects and grade levels at Ambler Elementary School where she had completed her student teaching for graduation; and

Whereas, she benefits her community while serving her Lord as a member of Easley First Baptist Church as she sings in the choir and plays the handbells; and

Whereas, not only has she impacted her community as a whole, but she has also left a lasting impression on the hundreds of students she has taught over the years in the Pickens community; and

Whereas, untold students doubtless reminisce about their cherished days with Cathay Rodgers and consider her to be a symbol of all the tools for life they carry from Ambler Elementary School; and

Whereas, in her much deserved retirement, she plans to work on scrapbooks for her two sons and her granddaughter and to spend pleasurable hours by the river in quiet reading; and

Whereas, Cathay Cannon Rodgers and her colleagues, Yvonne Corn Bolding and Debbie Moorer Wilson, who are all retiring, have taught young minds beginning their educational pilgrimages at Ambler Elementary School in Pickens for a remarkable total of one hundred years, truly a centennial of service. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend Cathay Cannon Rodgers for her thirty-four years of dedication to her students at Ambler Elementary School in Pickens, upon her retirement from teaching and wish her the finest joys in life for many years to come.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Cathay Cannon Rodgers.
