Alesha got a job!!!

We are so excited!!! Alesha was offered a one year contract in Nebo School district ( Spanish Fork, Utah, just south of Provo) teaching 4th grade. She will continue with the classroom she was a permanent sub for this past winter and spring. They have been really happy with her. They are only offering one year contracts due to state budget worries. But she is really excited and we are very proud of her. She has worked so hard to get her self to this point. She really stood out in school. Especially with her student teaching. Her mentors at BYU where very impressed and have really helped her get her foot in the door with a number of school districts. And Alesha has put in sooooo many long work days since she got this job. She will be home for part of June and July and then head back to Utah the first of Aug to get her school room ready for the coming year!!!

A heart-felt congratulations to Alesha!! That is quite an accomplishment, especially at a time when many teachers have been let go!!
It sounds like she has a real love and passion for teaching, and the kids are fortunate to have her!! :)

Congratulations Alesha!! The job market for teachers is not great in this area. I just found out I will not have a job next year. More time for hiking??
