Arlee Elementary School is a special place for me. I've taught here for four years and developed some special relationships with both students and staff. I will miss everyone very much.

My new position is at Meadow Hill Middle School in Missoula. I will be teaching 6th grade drama, 7th grade broadcast journalism, and 8th grade business. As many of you know journalism is my passion and the opportunity to teach this subject is a great gift to me. I also have a degree in theater and a talent for improve, so teaching drama is right up my alley.

I plan on starting a paper just like the Arlee Times for Meadow Hill. I'm very proud of all the hard work that the students put into this paper and I sure hope it will continue to be published for years to come. The Arlee Times has given students the opportunity to publish their stories and most importantly share news with the Arlee community.

Thanks again for all the wonderful times. Please feel free to stay in touch. Drop me an e-mail at: tamaragarton@alumni.usc.edu.
