To all my Science students and their families:

Teaching at OCS these 20 + years has been very rewarding and I have met many wonderful students! Thank you for the opportunity and trust that you placed with me in giving your children the best science education possible.

Have a wonderful summer and if you're near Bolivia, NC, give me a call, I'd love to hear from you.
