Librarian retiring from school she attended

Cindy Brune first walked through the halls of Mary Purcell Elementary School in 1963.

“As a first grader (the school) seemed big,” she recalled. “I could hardly wait to get to school so I could learn how to read.”

This month, after 40 years of teaching at the school she attended as a child, Brune will walk through its halls one last time before retiring.
