I can't believe it's been so long since I've written anything. Sorry about that. I guess it shows how busy I've been. I'll give you a little bit of info now and then will post my newest newsletter that will have more detail and more pics.
Basically, everything's been going really well lately. I can't believe that I'm about to finish my first year of teaching (or that i've been here for 10 1/2 months). Here's a list of what's been going on the past month or so....
1. Princess party with one of the other teachers and all the little girls on the ranch
2. Elementary science fair
3. Lots of wildfires and smoke...and ashes falling from the sky
4. labeling and inventory-ing (is that a word) new jams, jellies, and teas to sell
5. working on the new single staff housing (my future home)
6. Wednesday community kids program
7. Finishing the school year strong (I'll give you highlights in my newsletter)
I tried adding pictures, but it's not working right now. I'll try again soon!
Here are some exciting things to come:
1. Graduation (where we celebrate the graduation of our Kindergarten and Senior classes by having many of the students perform music, plays, etc, displaying their talent)
2. Participating in a medical brigade
3. Vacation with a few other teachers
4. MOVING to the new house!!
5. Going back to the states for a few weeks(June 30-July ?...maybe the 22nd)
As always, thanks for all of your prayers and support! They've been a real encouragement lately!
