Love this entry Shelby! See if you can get Stacy to write one about Mali!
From your previous posts I can tell you are a wonderful, caring teacher. You are doing the remedial reading students a great, life improving service, whether the school will change what they label them or not. Keep your chin up!
I am jealous of your parents! Wish we could visit Stacy as, relatively, easily! We're counting the weeks till she comes home for a visit.
Hang in there, hope you have a fan to sit in front of!
