\"2017<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most local students have heard the sad news that Joshua is no longer teaching with us at Character Ink. He stewed about the decision for weeks, but he has decided to take on more responsibilities and year-round work with the paint company that he has been working for twenty years at least part time\/summers, etc. (since he was fourteen!). We are so sad that we will not be teaching together, but we are happily spending more family time with him than ever before with his extra free time. (He used to be tied up most evenings preparing for classes\u2014he was truly the most dedicated teacher I have ever seen!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And while we\u2019re on sad\/happy announcements, Jonathan will also be leaving our cottage classes as he has just accepted his first pastorate in Fort Wayne, Indiana. These two teacher losses have resulted in no social sciences (except for Economics by Ray), literature, Greek, and some specialty writing classes. Donna continues to teach many CQLA and writing classes (including a few online live ones!) and will keep her private students going full force. Kayla (lead nurse, former missionary, M-Div student) will keep teaching our sciences\/labs and Spanish. Your students will still be in great hands! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So….let\u2019s get down to the class offerings\u2014and get your students signed up ASAP!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n
