An event at Somerset Elementary School at 3:30 p.m. June 20 will honor  Jean Lorch and Ruth Richlen who are retiring after more than 26 years of teaching.

Lorch’s career had her working with children at Ardmore, Bellevue High, Cherry Crest, Clyde Hill and Three Points before coming to Somerset for the last 23 years. Richlen’s journey took her to many schools throughout the district, but has most recently been working at Bennett, Newport Heights, Phantom Lake, Spiritridge and Somerset.

The event will be in the Somerset library.
