Greetings!

Just thought you might like an update about how things are going up here at Cispus.  (Sorry, no real grade updates--that probably won't happen until I return and sleep all weekend.)  The bus ride up was uneventful--fortunately.  The weather has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL--we couldn't ask for better.  Those of you down in the "gray" should be jealous because we've had nothing but warm temps & sunshine.  The high school counselors are top notch and are doing a fantastic job.  The classes have run smoothly, and hopefully everyone is learning a lot.  Most importantly the sixth graders are having a terrific time.  Lots of activity in the classes (especially the "Challenge Course") and recreation.  The campfire was awesome last night, and the students were in bed at a reasonable time for the first night (boys making flatulent noises and the girls with a bit of drama--I'll bet you recognize which one is yours) and everyone is staying healthy.  The food is good and the kids are getting plenty of it, so overall I would say we're off to a fine start.  You will hear plenty of stories this weekend, I'm sure.  Hopefully you were able to make arrangements for transportation for your student on Friday, we will be returning at about 2:30.

Have a great week, because so far we are,
Michele Humble
