Irene's former colleagues welcomed her back and showed her around the school. As Irene revisited familiar surroundings, she had time to catch up with old colleagues and share memories of her teaching days. Seeing her face light up during the reunion was a lovely moment for everyone who joined her.

Staying connected to the local community

Irene’s visit grew out of a connection she had built over years of working in Glenrothes. At Finavon Court, getting to know residents means learning about the work they did, the friendships they made and the places that still hold meaning for them. Those conversations help us plan outings and activities that reflect each person’s interests and life story.

Thank you to everyone at Pitteuchar West Primary School for making time to welcome Irene back and reminisce with her. It was a visit that meant a great deal to her.
