Faculty Retirement Spotlight Dale Child
by rpdsjax
After 26 years of service to Riverside Presbyterian Day School, beloved Art Teacher, Dale Child, retired from RPDS at the end of the 2020 - 2021 school year. For 26 years, Dale has gracefully served RPDS as a teacher, colleague, and friend to all. Always leading with her heart and living the Riverside Way, Dale naturally inspired students to reach their full potential and worked assiduously to ensure that each child was known, loved, and recognized for his or her unique gifts. All who know Dale will attest that she approached her role with professionalism, joy, intention, and zeal. Dale’s acumen, encouraging demeanor, and remarkable skill as an educator are gifts that have positively shaped the culture, climate, and student experience at RPDS. Dale will be greatly missed, and we can all share in her joy as she prepares to move to Washington state to be closer to family. At RPDS, we have been fortunate to journey alongside Dale and be reminded along the way to enjoy the beauty in the world, appreciate the arts, and to never shy away from creativity and self-expression in all its forms. Dale will always remain a treasured member of our community.
Dale entrusts to us a legacy of which both she and the school community can be very proud. Please join us in expressing our sincere and heartfelt appreciation for Dale’s outstanding teaching and her passionate commitment to RPDS and the many children she has served.
