In the blink of an eye...

After a phone called and an interview last night and a job offer and a contract signing today, I will be officially heading back to the state that stole my heart to teach sixth grade! I'm really, really looking forward to this exciting new adventure! 

Unfortunately I couldn't go back to LPSD due to their positions already being filled and my previous decision that I talked about in my last post. BUT I think I found a great district that isn't far from LPSD at all. I'm very excited to be heading back to that state and to also be much closer to a few great friends. ;) 

I will be teaching 6-9 6th grade students in a village called Manokotak. It's just south of Dillingham.... the school has about 120 students from what I've been told. 

I leave around the 8th of August and so today started my shopping and packing! It'll be a busy few weeks with a short trip to Arizona to visit family thrown in there but It'll be worth it to be finally doing something that I love and spent so much time in school for! 

A huge, huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now it's all about getting ready to start this journey. 

Looks like it's Marisa's Alaskan Adventure: The Sequel ;)
