Welcome back all high-school students from J-Term!!!! The last month had been a blast and everyone in high-school had something to do for the last two weeks. High-school Freshmen and Sophomores classes went exploring the culture of the Spanish Speaking world, while the juniors and seniors of the upper classes went sky-high searching for future colleges. Deep thinking and heart-wrenching words were spoken by the Potter in Nicaragua and students of every class got to explore to be what it was like to move away from what they've known for a lifetime of fun and learning. High-School is buzzing with excitements again as tablets of newer technology were handed out to each of the high-school students. They were collected again the last couple weeks [to update software], but are expected to be returned soon enough. A new security system was installed while the High-School students were out, new keys were given to the students as they passed to and from the buildings to join their classes. The keys that the High-School students received are specifically designed to open only the modulars and the back of the main building leading into the middle school hallway. It was actually a great relief to most of the High-School students, only a pain to those who forget them (and the 8th graders) for the doors lock instantly after they've been closed whether automatically or specifically closed. Well, a lot of exciting things has occurred over the last month and yearbook staff members are needing pictures from any events to finish the yearbook for this year. Emilee Johnston
Wow. The past few weeks have really flown by. After I blogged last time in Nicaragua, our class went zip lining, had a great time visiting our buddy's houses, and then had a sad time saying goodbye. Who knew you could grow so close to some one in a week? I pray every day for them and their families. I hope that I am here to go on the next Nicaragua trip, but I may already be in Taiwan, as my family is moving there to become missionaries. Well, that's all for now. Have a great month! Bye. - Danae Johnston, 9th grade
