Wow, time flies by...it seems we just started this school year and it's nearly over. If I've calculated correctly, only 36 sleeps until I leave Tunt permanantly.

In mid March we had one day off for spring Break..Pam and I flew into Anchorage and had a wonderful time relaxing and touring the beauty of the area. The scenery is captivating.



On March 17th, with mixed feelings I submitted my resignation to Frank. Though excited about pending possibilities I was aprehensive about the unknown.



On April 2nd, I was accepted as a member with Wycliffe Bible Translators, (the same day I was replaced by another SpEd teacher) now I will begin to raise prayer and financial support. I am in awe at the support of those around me. Yesterday my partnership brochures arrived, Syliva jumped in and started to help fold them, then Kat came and said "Can I help?" and Pam arrived a few minutes later and said "Give me some to fold" awhile later another staff member came in and helped stuff envelopes. We had 300 brochures folded in no time. These little gestures mean a lot and I know that I am blessed with great friends. I am so lucky to have people such as Kat, Iain, Pam, Sylvia, and Maat around me, willing to jump in and help and do what they can just because they want to. They are truly treasured friends and will be missed greatly next year.



We had state testing the first week in April, my students had a strong determination and some stayed until after 6 pm 3 nights that week, trying to put forth their best effort on the test.



Since announcing my resignation, students have had many a question and have been trying to figure out life's questions. It is great to watch their new interest and curiosity grow, as well as watching them grow from the "kids" I knew when I first arrived into the teenagers and young adults they are today.



The weather warmed up a bit last week but has since cooled off and snowed again...one would think spring might soon be here?? ;)
