Full house for the Fort Zumwalt informational meeting on preparing for retirement. Lots of smiling faces as our soon-to-be retirees learn about the outstanding benefits of a PSRS/PEERS retirement. So many years of dedicated service to the Fort Zumwalt community here tonight!

⚡️What are you practicing?
⚡️ What are you promoting?
⚡️ What are you permitting?

Control what you can control.
Keep your emotions in check.
Live the standard, not your situation.
Own your response.
Forget the last play, play the next play.

Leaders can’t just preach it, they must live it and empower others to live it.

Be the standard.
