STOUGHTON - Stoughton Central School will say farewell to long-time teacher Annette Breault at the end of the school year.

Breault was raised on a farm near Canwood. It was where she attended and graduated school.

During her elementary school years, she would write questions from the encyclopedia for her parents to answer.

Her Grade 4 teacher was such an inspiration to Breault that it made her decide to become a teacher herself.

Breault attended the University of Saskatchewan to receive her bachelor of education degree in elementary education.

In 1988, she began her career at the White Bear First Nation. Breault taught there for seven years.

She married Larry Breault in 1994, moved to Stoughton from Carlyle and began teaching at the Stoughton Central School in 1999. She remained there for nearly 25 years. 

Over the years, Breault has taught Grades 2 through 5, even teaching her own two daughters Meagan and Ashley.

In 2010, she and Larry moved to the family farm near Forget where Larry was raised.

For 15 years she also ran the yearbook in Stoughton. Breault enjoyed this task documenting students and staff experiences.

She also helped coach and supervise the volleyball and curling teams in the past years.

Breault did not have a favourite subject, but she loves to see the growth of the students over the years with their reading and writing.

The buddy program was also headed up by Breault, where she would match a student to a senior.

Breault's one daughter Meagan is a historical researcher and lives in Calgary, while Ashley is a neonatal intensive care unit nurse in Saskatoon but will be moving to New York City shortly.

She also has travel plans for Europe where she will visit relatives and do some exploring, and she looks forward to continuing to be a substitute teacher.

“I am thankful to the communities of White Bear and Stoughton for entrusting me with the privilege of teaching their children," said Breault.
