The International Student page has been updated and now include pictures of students from China
and Iran - Steven and Idris, who came to visit with us. This page still includes the international
students from the African continent, Michael Artemis Michailidis-Cutoupes from South Africa and
David Kimathi from Kenya, who visited us thanks to Kennedy's Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Pope,
who are in charge of the international student program at Cumberland University!
I will be teaching only science for the 2009-10 school year so I am redesigning my web page to
better fit my needs - please be patient as it is under construction!!!!
Enjoy your summer!

"To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others
to leave the world a little better
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
