In 1978, Sue Cook walked into a classroom – or rather gymnasium, for the first time. Now, after a 39-year career as a physical education instructor, she is ready to hang up her whistle for the last time.

“I chose to become a teacher because I have always enjoyed working with kids,” said Cook, who has been employed in the South Winneshiek school district since 2005. “Teaching physical education is so enjoyable for me.”

While teaching physical education at South Winneshiek has been Cook’s specialty during her career within the district, she has done much more.
