Oct.10th, 2015 Dear Jessie,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that we miss you and I hope all is well.

We have a new teacher, Candy, who is teaching ESL 3, and we have a lot of new students.Nina took a job at a school in Yantai, and she's working with Laura and Billy at a much higher salary, so I'm happy for her.

Being a vice principal isn't as much fun for me as being a teacher, but I'm doing ok. Sometimes I feel like I'm a babysitter. I like working with Mr. D. very much and together we're making some good things happen.

I hope that things are going well for you with what you are teaching now.

Best wishes,

Mike
