MEMORIES OF TCN:
I loved the small class sizes. It allowed you to get to know each other very well. I loved being with the students as well as the parents.

I remember one time Mike and I were sitting at our kitchen table. There was a knock at the front door. When we opened the door, there was a Sterling police officer standing with Jason Sharp and Matt Vest. They had been TPing our front yard when a watchful neighbor called the police. The police officer asked what we wanted to do with them. Mike said to take out your gun and shoot em!!!! The office then asked if I wanted them to clean up their mess. I said no. He asked if I was sure. I said yes I’m sure because I will get even! So the next day I went out and cleaned up our yard. I collected all the toilet paper and put it in trash bags. On Monday, I went into our classroom and proceeded to dump all the “garbage” onto both of their desks. When all the students walked into class, they were wondering why Jason and Matt’s desk had toilet paper. I then had to tell them how Jason and Matt were almost shot that weekend!!
