There were plenty of tears recently at the Johannes Gutenberg School in Wolmirstedt, as staff member Gabriela Book was honored at the school\u2019s after-school care center.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter 13 years at the Gutenberg After-School Care Center, a loyal and dedicated employee is leaving,\u201d said Center Director Britt Engel, adding about Gabriela Book: \u201cAs an educational specialist at the after-school care center at the \u2018Johannes Gutenberg\u2019 School, she has made a significant contribution to the well-being of our children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a song, gifts, and many kind words and hugs, the children and colleagues thanked the after-school care staff member for the years they had spent together. Wolmirstedt\u2019s mayor, Mike Steffens, also made a point of personally saying goodbye to the city employee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Gabriela Book now has much more time for herself and her family, she has already promised the children who surrounded her that she will visit them regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
