Washington School is saying goodbye to the best there is today. Words cannot express how much the Washington School community will miss Mr. Jon Zimmerman. He has been an amazing leader and friend to us for 13 glorious years. We wish him luck in his retirement and his mark on Washington will always be remembered and cherished. We like to say once at Washington, always at Washington. ❤️💙
