Thank you everyone for all your help and generosity of time. I especially thank the teachers who went above and beyond the call of duty and helped me even more than their allotted volunteer hours. You know who you are, and I am eternally grateful.

Currently, I am now looking for a North Region branch honors coordinator. Ji An has stepped down from this position. I am so hoping someone is as generous as her in giving her time to this worthy cause. I know all the teachers are also grateful besides me to those who really give their all to the program. Until next year, have a wonderful Summer!

I hope to see you all at Convention!

Pedagogy and Play: "Thyme" for Tea

Our Pedagogy and Play: Thyme for tea event was a lot of fun. We had fun sharing ideas, listening to good music performed by Olya, Susie and Junghee, and eating lots of yummy foods!

Here are some pictures from the event!
