Diego..once again suffering for work! In Boston I was attending the NSDC ( National Staff Development Counsel) summer conference and had been selected to present a session on some professional growth intiatives we are doing at Grandview High School. I co- presented with Alicia Pray, our Technology Coordinator. It was a great professional stretch and it went well.Barb decided to come out with me a couple of days early so we could tour Boston.

Bruce and Barb... Really?! Has it really been years since we've seen you last? I INSIST that we get together soon! The Versluys clan is growing (baby number 3 is due in September), but Eric and Danielle moved to California last year. Let's plan something! annette.versluys@gmail.com
Looks like fun! I want to visit there someday!
