In one week, I will be boarding the plane for Russia, but today was my last day at school. Next week is spring break so today was a day for good-byes.
In class, students had fun trying on some of the extreme cold weather gear that will keep me warm and safe while working in Siberia.

Clearly if Griffen were to join the expedition, he would need a smaller pair of Carharts ...although he fit with plenty of room to spare in one of my duffel bags!

The great administration and faculty coordinated a going away party at break time! (Apologies to all who can read the Russian, Ms. Vance (who is fluent in Russian) said that the cake decorator at the bakery could not figure out the Cyrillic alphabet in order properly form the letters.)
