Looks like it’s time to start the next level of my #IB teacher journey, @RoyalHSIB—I was fortunate to be selected as one of the IB Lit examiners! Yet more proof of how strong our amazing program has become, @TheRoyalHS. :)

Just started this novel with HL1, and guess what slipped out when I opened it? @carlytrann56, when did you make yourself my bookmark? I guess she’s still visiting us, @kari_lev.
