Our Other Big News!


We are moving to Harvard, MA in late June or early July. Here is a picture of the library in the town center. I just signed the contract to become the principal of their elementary school. It is a small district with only about 1,400 students with only 1 elementary school. I am honored to be the one they selected from their pool of candidates.
So, where did this come from?? Ever since Jim and I finished school (seminary for him and UDEL for me), we have talked about where we might settle next. We love New England, and so I began to look in the fall. I made it to the finalist round in two MA schools and one VT school. Harvard started to stand out after I visited there twice. Last week, the Superintendent and the director of elementary curriculum flew down to see our school. They offered me a position last Friday. Today, I accepted.
What mixed emotions; excitement about the change for our family, sadness about leaving family and friends. Also, a little overwhelmed with picking up Timmy next month, and then moving with two little boys. :) Get ready for our wild journey these next months.
