Welcome new Freshmen, and welcome back Sophomores.....

Weclome, Freshman students, to Sprague High School, and welcome back Sophomores.  I look forward to a great year studying history with you. You might feel like these young kids that are posing in the stocks at Colonial Williamsburg, but be honest, you are happy to be at school. Right?

I hope you all had a great summer.  Mrs. Olsen did some projects, as usual.  She built a fence, tiled her front entry way and watched the plumber take out and replace her sink.  She also trimmed two million bamboo shoots in her back yard.  She also taught the Freshman academy so some of you may have met her already.  She is a graduate of Sprague High School and enjoyed looking at the old yearbooks with you.

She also traveled back East and studied some American History with other teachers from across the United States.  She learned a lot about early American History at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.  One night, she was nearly mugged when she walked back to her hotel on a secluded path.  She outran her attacker instead of beating him off with her handbag.   The incident was captured on video.  When she asked the police officer if she looked "ok" while she ran away,  he didn't say anything.  She asked the officer  if she looked like she could try out for an Avenger film, and again he didn't say anything.  Well, I guess that answers why she's back at school teaching both 9th and 10th grade history.
