Message from the editor-
My my, time flies when you're having fun (idiom: time goes fast when you're doing something you like)! It seems like yesterday that the new school year was starting and now it's only a month away from being over. Many students are interested in what the teachers are doing next, so here is a brief summary of everyone's next step...

Doris: What a long strange trip it's been and now it's time to call it quits and head back to the motherland... Ireland. We bid you farewell

Chris: Working at SPEED this summer and returning next year as well.

Matt: This summer Matt will be travelling with his significant other (Holly) through the Balkans in Southeastern Europe. Next year he will travel across the globe to Quito, Equador and take his teaching styles to Central America.
(Godspeed and good luck my friend, be careful of the elusive BOT FLY.)

Susan: Will be settling down with her husband and new baby... maybe back next year?

Brian: Working at SPEED over the summer and also continuing his employment here next year.

Rob: Working in Budapest this summer and then heading to the distant land that is Morocco in Africa. Get your injections!

Holly: This summer Holly will be travelling with her significant other (Matt) through the Balkans in Southeastern Europe. Next year she will travel across the globe to Quito, Equador and take her kind and gentle, yet stern with the children, teaching expertise to Central America.

Lee: Working at a kid's English camp this summer near Poznan and then next year moving to Wroclaw to work at SPEED'S other branch.

Jake: Heading back to California where the beer flows like wine.

Marcin: Still rockin out in Gliwice this summer and next year.

Jan: Still undecided

Tanya: Will be back next year taking care of all the little kiddies (children).

James: He will be travelling a bit over the summer and then returning to Gliwice to work until December.

Sean: Staying here at SPEED over the summer and then again next year.
