Recently, Spring Ridge had the privilege of hosting an exchange teacher from S
witzerland. Barbara Leuman was with us for three weeks. What a pleasure! The boys and girls really grew to love her wonderful sense of humor, the great stories she told, and the activites she engaged them in. It was a fun experience for all of us. Barbara lives in a small town, Lillis, a village smaller in population than our school. The photos she shared with us were incredible. The small cabin in the middle of the "hillside" picture below is the hut she and her husband own, way up on one of the mountains. It's quite a hike up the mountain to the hut, but it's a place where they can "get away" for reading and enjoying nature. The water is fresh and it's quiet and peaceful. Barbara is a special education teacher in a small school in another village. Her commitment to her students was evident. She is an outstanding teacher. As always, when meeting a new friend, the hardest part is saying good-bye. We were blessed to have her with us, and look forward to keeping in touch with her for years to come. Perhaps Clint and I will take a trip to Switzerland in a year or two. :-)
