Mrs. Olsen is back at Sprague, ready and willing to teach 189 Freshman students history.
Mrs. Olsen is a graduate of Sprague High School, and though she looks about 29, she can remember the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the Moon landing. That's a lot of history since then.
For the past several years, after teaching AP classes, she has been devoting herself to Freshman classes. You will learn a lot of things this coming year and you should find the class very interesting.
This summer, she visited Japan for several weeks. She was hoping to become a zombie, because she is fond of Japanese zombie films, but that did not happen. No one bit her. Instead, she visited several Japanese schools and went to Kyoto and Nikko where she saw the shrine in the picture above. She also brought back a lot of incense, so her house now smells like a shrine and her two dogs and two cats think that she is worshiping them.
She at a lot of Sushi and other things like entire fish, eyeballs and all. It was a great experience. We are fortunate to live in Oregon and enjoy the beautiful Sprague campus, surrounded by trees and parks.
I will be emailing parents and students every week or so just to keep them informed about what we are doing. I know this will be a great year as usual!
