On the last day of school at Titus Elementary on Thursday, second-grade teacher Joanna Brennan received a nice sendoff to summer from some unexpected guests.
Thirteen graduating seniors at Central Bucks High School South surprised her by stopping by her classroom wearing their caps and gowns. They weren’t just any graduates. They were members of the first class Brennan taught at Titus — when she was fresh out of Moravian College.
“I was absolutely shocked. I got weak in the knees. I couldn’t believe all the kids who showed up to see me,” she said. “They were my very first class. They were very special to me. Some of them, I didn’t recognize. They were 8, and now they’re 18. They’re so grown up!”
Mary Marquis, whose son Jack was in Brennan’s class, and Terry Remick, whose son Dan was also in the class, organized the reunion. Marquis recalled how nice Brennan was to Jack while she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer about 10 years ago.
“She was so good to my son,” Marquis said. “All the teachers at Titus are so great.”
The Marquis family kept in contact with Brennan — she also taught Jack’s sister Kathryn. They thought Brennan would enjoy seeing other former students from that year, but did not know how many would be able to get to the school on the morning of their graduation from CB South.
“When the kids showed up, it was so touching,” Marquis said.
As part of their graduation, the students also received a surprise. An Iraq War veteran to whom they had written as second-graders in Brennan’s class wrote a letter recently to congratulate them on their graduation.
“I would like to again thank (you) for your letter and treats sent to me while I was serving our country in Iraq in 2004-2005 … When I received your letter, I had so much joy in my heart that it brought tears to my eyes,” said Vern Conaway, who is a U.S. Army veteran. “I sincerely wish you well in your future endeavors. Work hard, never give up on yourself,” he wrote.
Conaway brought the letters to CB South so they could be distributed to the former Titus students with their diplomas.
