Five Ways to Control Your Prescription Costs

Sometimes it seems there’s very little we can do manage medication expenses. Here are some things you can do to keep hospital fees and drug costs in check.

Career Conversion

Retired high school English teacher Donna Trebilcox continues to get notes from her former students. After nearly 29 years teaching at Dallas High School in Dallas, Pennsylvania, Trebilcox left to attend a theological seminary in New York City. She was happy to learn that being a priest has a large teaching component.

Education is a Family Business

Educators often say that teaching is in their blood. It simply is what they were born to do. But for individuals who grew up in families full of educators, teaching wasn’t just a calling. It was a way of life, and they knew early on they would pursue nothing other than the “family business.”

Nurturing A Love for Educating

It’s heartwarming to hear about families that are chock full of devoted educators, like the ones featured in this issue. It almost makes you think they have a “teaching gene” they pass from generation to generation.

Effective Mentoring -- Nebraska: The Model Mentor

When NEA-Retired launched the Intergenerational Teacher Mentoring Project in 2003, the Nebraska State Education Association-Retired (NSEA-R) didn't hesitate to sign up. Since then, more than 40 student-retiree pairs have participated in Nebraska' s program, which has become the model for intergenerational mentoring programs nationwide.
