Hi Michelle,
It has been a very long time. I went to your website to see if you would be willing to be in touch with an alum of our program who is moving to Oregon and will look to teach there. What a wonderful thing to find this amazing story of your classroom! How wonderful that you are teaching K to 2nd grade. Please email me back if you are willing to have this teacher be in touch and also to catch up. I’d love to know how all is going.
Best regards,
Mary Hebron
