Principal & 4th-6th grade: Mr. Oliver McCarthy
1st-3rd grade teacher: Miss Rosabella Steinman
Prek-Kindergarten teacher: Mrs. Miriam Siew

Thanksgiving break is just a week away, and everyone is ready for the time away from school, even the teachers. The school day starts, and the Browning twins are in the throes of a hearty game of tag. Their big sister, Mavis just walks past, ignoring their shenanigans. She prefers the more quiet hobbies which require no sweat.

Irina has only been in school for a few months, but she’s already enamored with her preschool teacher, Mrs. Siew. She shares stories of her travels, although her parents haven’t had time to take her on a vacation yet. They are planning to the next summer, but it seems so real to Irina, she feels like she’s already gone.

STUDENT ENROLLMENT

Everyone is struggling to maintain their drive and focus with the promise of summer freedom fragrancing the spring air. Romance also seems to be mingling in the air as well, which makes extra work for the teachers. Rosabella Steinman is covering for Brooklyn while she’s on maternity leave, and she’s rather soft since she just covered for Miriam in the fall, but she taught kindergartners which are less prone to making out.

Bekah knows far too much about the couples in her school, and she happened to see Chaz moving on after Cicely broke up with him this past winter.

Oddly, she saw Cicely smile, as if she were happy for Chaz and Lizzie with their new-found romance. It made Bekah respect the young girl more, seeing the maturity of wanting her ex to be happy.

Rosabella and Trey have been dating about two years, and while he may be interested in marriage, she isn’t quite there yet. Which is a relief to me, first because I don’t want to hunt a new roommate, and second, because neither of them can cook; she’d likely die.

Student Enrollment

The teachers meet in the faculty room as the school buses pull up outside. Bekah obliged Brooklyn’s request to coach the soccer team, despite her baby being due in the middle of the season.

Neither Bekah nor Rosabella wanted the extra task, and Brooklyn could use the money. Everyone knew that Oliver was studying for his Masters, Bekah especially since he was hoping to replace her best friend, Lucy when she retired.

I graduated med school last June, and have a fancy MD tacked at the end of my name, but I still have four more years left of residency to be a surgeon. Neil is going to be a General Practitioner, and already has more responsibilities and trust than I do, which is perturbing. I understand that in the end, I will be light years ahead of him, but being treated like I’m ignorant because my residency is longer is asinine.
