This year was definitely the toughest year by far! We were remote majority of the year and my nephew was just starting Kinder. It was hard to watch him learn from home, while I was teaching next to him. We made the best of the situation and this was a tough goodbye. I always knew this school was home for me and had the best memories!

The relationships that I built turned into life long friends. Ms. Ishii and I met in college and she became one of my first friends on the islands! She was an amazing educator and loved that we had the opportunity to teach together! We left the island to move to Texas because of the cost of living. Hawaii will always be home and can't wait to come back to visit our friends and family💙
