                        Friday, January 28, 2022

  Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the career 
of Sandra ``Sandy'' Denty, a beloved sixth grade Science teacher at 
Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield, Massachusetts. After thirty-
seven years dedicated to her students and her community, Sandy is 
celebrating a well-deserved retirement.
  Sandy has lived in Marshfield for her entire life, where she and her 
family have been an integral part of the community. Her grandparents 
founded Marshfield's first grocery store, now the Brant Rock Market. 
Her father, Fred Parziale, owned barber shops around town and her mom, 
Dotti Parziale, managed the popular local restaurant Casabrini. Sandy 
and her husband, Bill, have raised two children. Kali and Billy, with 
the same values with which they were brought up.
  Sandy graduated from Marshfield High School in 1978 and began 
substitute teaching with Marshfield Public Schools shortly after 
receiving her bachelor's degree. She made an immediate impact on the 
school community, and when a middle school science teacher position 
became available, she jumped at the opportunity.
  As a sixth-grade science teacher, Sandy has a unique way of 
connecting with each child on an individual, personal level; through 
everything she says and everything she does. Sandy's greatest talent is 
making others feel special.
  Sandy's impact on Marshfield Public Schools reaches beyond the 
students in her classroom. She is endlessly supportive of her 
colleagues, running various staff-wide competitions, sporting events 
and festive programs

every year. She donates her free time to making banners for Furnace 
Brook's ``One Book One School'' program. Sandy has run countless 
fundraisers, talent shows, and other community-building activities. In 
1999, she founded the ``Denty Connection'', a private business that has 
helped many teachers get re-certified and receive graduate credits.
  Sandy Denty's selfless career as a teacher in Marshfield Public 
Schools has come to an end after thirty-seven years, but her impact has 
spanned multiple generations of students and will never be forgotten. 
Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Sandy 
Denty on her retirement and recognizing her for her outstanding service 
to the Town of Marshfield and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
