Farewell

One great year at a GREAT school with GrEaT students. While tears did not come, it was bitter sweet to say goodbye to my students on Thursday. Students from this semester and last made some impressive strides and really grew both academically and personally as youth, as is evident in my 4th Period's group picture below :) haha... They're outstanding kids.

4th Period: Proud of her geometric sculpture

There was a lot to celebrate at the closing faculty luncheon, although I think the administrative team did not get the shout-outs that they really deserved. It's inspiring to work with individuals who are so invested in the success of students and teachers. I'm really looking forward to returning to the same school (different position) in the Fall!

BTW: We, as faculty (women sadly represented by only me, the "wanna-be-baller"), pulled off a win against the eighth graders in baskball! Whew! I'd love to make time to work on those skillz- it was fun.

Fall Semester Students on their way out

Summer is here! I am also REALLY looking forward the adventures that are soon-coming... departure in 1 day! If you are interested in hearing updates on teaching in Ghana, please send me and email or just comment. I have another blog set up for the trip, but I may resort to emails if the internet connection is too slow.
