May 6 Retirement Celebration for Stewart Sevier postponed

UPDATE: The MBE community planned to celebrate the retirement of Stewart Sevier with a tea on May 6. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event is being cancelled. Be on the lookout in Village Living and on the MBE website and social media for the rescheduled date and time.

The end of this school year will also mark the end of an era at Mountain Brook Elementary: Stewart Sevier will be retiring after 34 years of working for Mountain Brook schools, 29 of those at MBE. As the front office assistant, Ms. Sevier is the face of MBE, greeting most students and parents by name and making everyone feel welcome. She often takes on a variety of roles and attends to the details that make the school run smoothly. She will be sorely missed by her MBE family as she retires to focus on her own family.

We also need the community’s assistance in gathering information about a time capsule that was buried at MBE in 1960, while Ms. Sevier was a student at the school. We would like to have her open the capsule as part of her retirement celebration, but we need to find it first! If you have any information on this time capsule, please contact Julie Tuck at tuckj@mtnbrook.k12.al.us.
