An employee of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) retires after half a century of service – 49 of those years spent at Silver Bluff Elementary School

Claudia Lewis began her career with M-DCPS in 1965 – when Lyndon B. Johnson was President, the average cost of a new home was $13,000, a gallon of regular gas cost 31 cents and the movie “The Sound of Music” made its debut. A half a century later, Ms. Lewis is getting ready to retire.

During teacher appreciation week, we invite you into Ms. Lewis’ second-grade classroom to get a first-hand look at the qualities of a great teacher who has dedicated most of her life to teaching our children. There also will be a special presentation.

• Video of teacher and students in her classroom
• Interview with teacher
• Interview with school staff
