Bunker Elementary's Principal Brynjulson Says Goodbye

Bunker Elementary School principal Michele Brynjulson said goodbye to her students, staff and parents at an event Thursday night.

Brynjulson, who served as Bunker's principal for the past four years, announced her retirement last month and will step down at the end of the school year.

In a letter posted on the Bunker website on April 24, Brynjulson wrote: 

"It is with mixed emotions that I send you this letter today.  After 30 years in education, I have decided to retire. The reasons for this are personal; there are several members of my family whose health has changed in the last few years and I feel I am being called to support them in ways that I am unable to while working the hours that are required of an educator or administrator."

Brynjulson left well wishes for the community Thursday night, saying, "May what is new be as extraordinary as what we have been."
