Dear WFS Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that I will be retiring from the Freehold Township School District as of July 1, 2024. I have been an educator for a total of 33 years. I have served 20 of those years at the West Freehold School. This was a difficult decision, as working with the students of WFS has been one of the joys of my life and career. Being Mrs. Perry, the School Counselor is a huge part of my identity.

As many of you are aware, this school year was a very difficult one for me personally. My beloved father passed away on February 16, 2024, which was also my birthday. I was my father's caregiver, which caused me to have to take time away from the students this school year. As I now care for my mother, I realize that the best decision all around is for me to focus on my mother's care and pass the torch onto a new WFS School Counselor.

With that being said, the FTS administrative team is working diligently to find the next WFS School Counselor. I know our admin team will leave you all in the most capable hands.

As I close this letter with tears in my eyes, I want you all to know what an honor and reward it has been for me to serve the families of the West Freehold community. You are all forever a part of my heart. I wish you all much happiness and success moving forward.

Sincerely,

Anessa Perry
