Celebrating Genet Eshete's Retirement
Celebrating 27 Years of Dedication – Congratulations, Genet Eshete!
Please join us in honoring Genet Eshete, who is retiring after 27 years of exceptional service as a Paraprofessional with Richfield Public Schools!
Genet began her journey with RPS in 1998, and for nearly three decades, she has supported students with compassion, patience and unwavering dedication. She is currently an important part of the special education team at Richfield STEM Elementary, where her calm presence and caring spirit have made a lasting difference in the lives of students and staff alike.
Originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Genet brought a global perspective and deep warmth to her work every day. In her free time, she enjoys reading. In retirement, she looks forward to one of her greatest passions: traveling across the United States and worldwide!
Thank you, Genet, for your incredible contributions to our schools and our community. We wish you joy, discovery and relaxation in this exciting next chapter!
