I want to take some time to highlight one of SAA's most dedicated teachers. Lisa Pang, one of our one-two classroom teachers, has been with SAA for eight years. In my three years here, she has been in three different classrooms, moving all her things each summer with enthusiasm. She will be moving once again this summer when we complete the construction project adding an additional classroom, making room for our second 8th grade homeroom. I've promised that this will be her last move.
I'm often asked if we have a nurse on staff here at SAA, and the answer is no. While we'd love to have such a person, fortunately 99.9% of the time there would be nothing for them to do. If there is a medical emergency, the paramedics are less than five minutes away. But with our growing population, it became apparent that we needed someone who was trained to take care of those situations that may arise in the normal course of the day. Therefore, we asked for volunteers from the staff who would be willing to take an EMT course, at the school's expense. This is a 14 week course, meeting one night a week and 14 full Saturdays. It also involves time with the emergency responding team, and a series of exams. As you can tell, this is big commitment.
