I moved to Oregon and went to school for two years, and then transferred to Royal Garrison High School in Pullman, Washington.

Tae Young Kim is 16 years old (9th grade) and he does a fair job of communicating in English. “I grew up in a family that values etiquette and manners and enjoys family conversation and discussion. I naturally became a very kind and polite child because of such learning from my parents. My sister and I joined a choir of World Vision, a Christian organization, so that I became religious. After a while, I had an opportunity to study abroad in the U.S as a member of the choir. It was my first time to the U.S, and my experiences there were unforgettable. America was a land of my dream. It was exactly where I had always wanted to dream about. It is where I will pursue my goal. I am finally given an opportunity to study in the U.S, and I can’t wait for the moment. I strongly believe that both my previous experience in the U.S that made me want to study in America and the chance to go there now are all thanks to my parents’ effort and the grace of God. I will do my best to find and improve my potential. I will study various subjects to get to know myself and what I do well, which will determine my future.” For more information about the school please visit https://logosschool.com/ Cheers, Matt WhitlingLOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2012/13 – Summer #1

Math Teachers: There have been a few changes in the works regarding math positions for 2012-13.

In addition, Mrs. Ross has decided that it is time to focus more time and attention on her growing family. We will miss having her as a Functions and Statistics teacher at Logos, but we wholeheartedly support her decision to spend more time at home. We are very pleased to announce that Mrs. Tora Whitling has been hired to teach both of these math classes as well as coordinate the secondary programs for next year. Tora has math teaching experience at the junior, high school and college levels, and she has been coordinating our protocol program and helping with the Knight’s Fest Feast for the past few years. Latin Teachers: Mr. Jesse Sumpter will be moving to Potlatch this summer and will be stepping out of his 9th and 10th grade Latin classes for next year. Mr. Sumpter has taught at Logos for five years, and we greatly appreciate the investment that he has made in the school. While we will really miss having him at Logos, we are very grateful to announce that Miss Melissa Dow has agreed to pick up these two Latin classes, which will make her a full time teacher next year.
