Hejdå IES

Well, it's officially the end of my year as a teacher at IES. Yesterday our year 9's had their ceremony, and it was lovely. I only teach three of them in French, but know most of them pretty well, and it's so nice to celebrate nice groups of people.

I was the 'MC' for the year 6 and 7 ceremony. It was kept short and sweet, and I only made one slight joke, which no one caught anyways.

Today we had a final goodbye fika, and our councellor had everyone write notes to each other that described the person. She gave us all the cards with words about us according to our colleagues. Highlights from mine include: sporty, cool, determined, and Swedish. haha amazing.

It was sad to say goodbye to some, and quite a few of us are moving on from the school, but at the same time, I'm ready for the next mini chapter, I think. I do want to come back to visit, and hopefully keep in touch. The school is like the Little Engine. . . I won't be aa part of it, but I was there at the beginning, and I'm sure in some corner I've left some trash for them to find in August.

I had an interview today that almost made me throw up, and now I'm all packed for that Europe trip I keep alluding to. Yes, I will be coming home flat broke!!

  1. We'll miss you a lot ms. Labrosse. Can honestly say that you were one of the best teachers here in IES despite some of those awkward(YET hilarious)silent english lessons.

  3. Hello, I'm a bilingual teacher in the U.S. and I was wondering if you knew who to contact in regards to exploring employment with IES.
