Surprise Squad honors beloved East Longmeadow math teacher

EAST LONGMEADOW, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - The Hyundai Dealers Surprise Squad is back and, this time, they took a trip to East Longmeadow High School. Students, staff, family, and friends all coming together to surprise their beloved math teacher, Jan Clini. It was an emotional surprise for everyone in the room as she is wrapping up her more than three decades in education and has made a mark for many as more than just a teacher.

Thirty-five years ago, Clini graduated college and entered the workforce with her master’s degree in business. She started working at a local insurance company, but that didn’t last very long. By lunchtime, on her first day, she quit.

However, Clini knew she couldn’t go home without a job, so she applied to dozens of schools and it was at that moment she began the next three decades working as a math teacher, but it became more than just a job for her, which is why her colleagues at East Longmeadow High School nominated her for the Hyundai Dealers Surprise Squad.

The surprises continued as the Western Mass. Hyundai Dealers gave back to Clini as she prepares to enter retirement in June.

“This was probably one of the most emotional Surprise Squads. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The kids were so emotional and she was so emotional, which may have something to do with the fact she’s retiring next year,” said Carla Cosenzi, president of Country Hyundai.
