Fall 2009: Chantilly Academy Part 1

Fall 2009 - Miles Connor and Jodie Larson are 40, Tammy Holland is 24, Claire Green is 22, Brandon Becker, Tamara Newson, Anthony Upsnott, Diana Lind and Madison Mathers are 17, Jacob Flylar is 16, Colin Pitts, Stewart Newson, Penny McArthur and Gabriella Gorey are 14.

Enrollment at Chantilly Academy has grown to the point that splitting into two sites was required. Through the summer the old building across the street had been converted to make the Lower School (Grades 1-8) and the original building would remain the site for the Upper School (Grades 9-12).

With more classes, new teachers where required. Claire Green a new grad from Sim State University was an ideal candidate. She had taken Art with extra credit in early childhood education. She would be taking over teaching at the Lower School.

Tammy was hired as the new Art and Music teacher. She has been working as an artist but wanted to pass on her love of the arts to the next generation.

Miles Connor always gets the same reaction from at least one student when he went over what they would be doing in the science lab. Diana wasn't really sure she was going to like this class.

Tamara and Anthony are determined to win the big debating competition with other schools around Sim State.

Penny and Gabriella where determined to get ahead on their very first essay. They hadn't realized just how much work High School was going to be.

The cafeteria at lunch time was always a hub of noise and hormones. Some of the topics of discussion where not one's Mr. Connor wanted to partake in.

Jodie was having more and more trouble controlling her class. The Grade nines where even more difficult for Jodie than the Grade 12 class the previous year.

Mr. Connor realized he had to make a change when a fight broke out between Jacob Flylar and Stewart Newson.

Thankfully Tammy was finding it easy to settle in teaching the art class.

Music was never a difficult subject to teach and the kids are having no problem getting into it with Tammy.
