LA - Student's wrote a letter to themselves (rough draft) talking about their experience at Norup and what they think they will be doing when they graduate high school. They will write the final copy on Wednesday. They will be provided with nice stationary and an envelope to put their home address on it. I plan to try and get to their graduation in 2015! (HOLY MOLY!) and pass out their letters to them. If I am unable to attend, or miss them, I will send the letter to their house. I also gave the student's my personal e-mail just in case they move and I can send it to the correct address. I also told them my e-mail can be used to keep in touch and if they need help with anything. The students found out today that I will unfortunately not be returning to NIS next year and how much I loved being around them and how much they will be missed. :-( HW - none.
