On May 23, 2024, Foster School in Hingham, MA, hosted a farewell event before its scheduled demolition. The event, named the Foster Farewell Tour, was organized by the current staff and attended by over 30 retired teachers. These former faculty members toured their old workplace, reminiscing and reconnecting with colleagues. The tour was led by staff members Courtney Stevenson, Laura Murphy, Paul Riser, Christopher Davidson, Monica Matthews, and Elizabeth Curran.

During the event, retirees viewed old photo albums and visited their former classrooms, which many had not seen in years. The gathering allowed them to share memories and catch up with one another. Feedback from attendees like Rosemary Zona and Sharyn Burden was positive, with many appreciating the opportunity to meet old friends and colleagues.

The current staff found organizing the event rewarding and noted the positive impact it had on the retirees. They expressed hopes to maintain this sense of community with future gatherings at the new Foster School building, set to open later in the year.
