End of the school year banquets

Students and teachers before the meal!


Ah, final exams are finished!


Celebration time!


Very smart and wonderful young adults!


Lovely women!

Even after 8 years of teaching here, I never tire of senior banquets! Each senior class (groups of about 35 students make up one senior class) invites all their teachers to a final banquet dinner at a nice restaurant in town. These are special evenings for teachers and students alike as we get time to talk about the past four years and move beyond the teacher/student to a more "personal" connection.



This particular class, my 12B class, was a great group. I taught 1/2 of them for 4 years and all of them for 3 years. Great students, for the most part, and interestingly, a number of them want to become teachers, so that says a lot about all the teachers they had during their high school years! I'll miss you all, but please keep in touch!
