From a Silverwolf to a Jaguar

Some of you know that I have been looking for a different job closer to home. With gas prices climbing, the 45 minute commute to Riverton each day is just not feasible any more. Jared and I talked it over, and even though it would be hard to start again at a new school, we feel that Alpine District is the place for me next year. After interviewing at several different schools throughout the district, I was offered a teaching position at Orem Jr. High School. You can view pictures of the school on their website. I have loved working at Riverton and I will miss my friends and the supportive administration that I have found there. I will especially dearly miss my students. I hope that I will be able to return next Spring to see Kali, Nic, Camille, and Jalissa graduate. I will also miss my stubborn little sophomore, Brandi. Josh, Treasure, and Scott will also be missed, but I would be missing them next year anyway as they are graduating and will be going on to South Valley next year. I am excited, though, to start at a new school. It will be interesting getting to know a new faculty and staff, as well as getting used to the new demographic of Jr. High students. More info will follow, but right now I'm just very excited to have a job in a great district and a great school that is only 10-15 minutes away from home.

Halloween

Halloween at school is very fun! The kids are all so hyper that we don't do any work all day long. Basically we just played, read stories, and ate a bunch of candy. Most kids dressed up, although we had a few who didn't. From left to right are Brandi/Cheerleader, Jalissa/Hannah Montana, Treasure/Princess, Camille/Devil, Kali/Hannah Montana, and Nic/Jack Skellington.
