Year Three…And so it goes…

Hello from Bethel at the start of year three. Two years ago it was about the excitement of new place and people. Last year it was about relief to be returning. This year is about providing continuity. Three of the four students have left the district and I am the only returning staff person working with the remaining third grader. Two of the students moved to Anchorage and one moved to Washington State to attend the school for the deaf in Vancouver, WA.
I am thrilled to introduce my new team interpreter, Stephanie Tucci, who hails from Georgia. We flew to Anchorage for Labor Day weekend and shopped till we dropped with the assistance of Sue and Frobin Putman, seen here helping Stephanie pack her groceries.


We had a beautiful flight back to Bethel.

So here we are, almost to October. I am enjoying the beautiful fall weather but it won’t be long before I break out the long underwear. Here are some pictures of a recent outing with John and Stephanie.





A huge thank you to family and friends for sticking with me through this great adventure. I couldn’t do it without your support. I’ll leave you with a few last photos of my summer.



Love
Vikki
