Students, families, staff and the community sent off Dobbins Elementary principal, Cheryl Borovitcky, during Hugs and Handshakes June 4.
After 35 years of service to Poland schools, Borovitcky is retiring. She began her career in 1978 at North Elementary as a third-grade teacher and became Dobbins’ principal in 2003.
“As a principal, I wanted to continue the tradition of excellence here at Dobbins,” said Borovitcky. “I wanted every child to receive the best learning opportunity.”
During Borovitcky’s time as principal, she has taken on many projects throughout the school. She coordinated the renovations of the school library and playground, increased and enhanced technology throughout the classrooms and developed the Dobbins outdoor nature trail.
Borovitcky said the best part about being a principal was the joy of working with the staff and children every day.
“Every memory that comes to me that is bright and beautiful has a child in the picture,” said Borovitcky.
Carla Bobbey, PTO president, said Borovitcky will be missed.
“She loves her kids and you can see that,” said Bobbey.
Marlene Booher, a third grade teacher at Dobbins, commended Borovitcky for her dedication.
“She worked very hard at trying to be the best principal she could be,” said Booher.
During retirement, Borovitcky plans to spend more time with family and friends. She will also continue teaching part-time at Youngstown State University in the Beeghly College of Education. Borovitcky is grateful for a rewarding career.
“My love for the students and the staff will never end,” said Borovitcky.
