I am a retired teacher from Rogue River Middle school and am looking for a better fit for my own 12 year old grand daughter (6th grader at Lone Pine Elementary). I like the 18-1 ratio of teacher to pupil plus actually having students experience of real world away from the school subjects. Loved the article on Sanctuary one where your students visit every Friday. This is what John Dewey really meant by education, not just confined to being in a box being filled up like an empty barrels. You will see me Thursday at 3:30 P.M. for a visit. Thanks Josh for the good information. Jim Hawes
