Wednesday, June 5th was my last day student teaching. I had such a wonderful semester in a 4/5 split classroom and in 6th, 7th and 8th grade math classes! I had asked my cooperating teacher a couple of weeks ago if I could tell the students what I was doing this up coming fall/winter. During the last week of school...she said, "yes". I told my students that I would be traveling to Uganda where I would be volunteering my time in an orphanage called Another Hope and if they would like to donate anything to the children I would put a box together. What I did not expect was their overwhelming
willingness to donate their school supplies to the children at Another Hope. The students donated two huge boxes of pens, pencils, markers, crayons, notebooks, folders, loose leaf paper and so much more. It is so awesome to see the hearts of middle school students want to help other students halfway around the world. So blessed by these students and their willingness to donate all these school materials to Another Hope!

Until next time,
