Saying Goodbye is HARD!


When the time came to say goodbye, it was an emotional leave-taking for students, Sagam Primary teachers and Bowman staff! It felt a little bit like leaving family behind to get in the van that last day to go home. But now that Bowman teachers are home and have time to write about their experiences, stay tuned to hear some of the "small moment" stories from their trip.

Although teachers' time directly in Kenya was short, we look forward to weekly communication with our sister school as we work to share curricular units, on-going conversations, teaching experiences, and strategies for improving education and student success. Next week the "Standard 8 classes will be going on their field trip to Lake Nakuru and Kericho Tea Plantations thanks to the generousity of our fifth grade class. We look forward to Cate Oldenburg's photos and reporting of this first ever experience for these children!
