It’s been awhile….

Dear Friends/Families,

As you can see, I have not updated this site since the end of the school year last year!

Unfortunately, my new position wanted me to use their District Sharepoint Website for privacy and other factors.  If you are interested in viewing and becoming a member of my new site, please let me know, and I will be happy to add you to our list.

Here’s the link if you’re interested:

Just request access to the site, and I will get your message.

Thanks so much for all the support!

Canaan families and students, I MISS YOU terribly!

Janet Park

A Taste of India

We LITERALLY had a taste of India, as we “landed” in Bombay after a 20 hour flight!  We were greeted with our first taste of India, as Ambika, Rohan’s mom, graciously shared a meal with us.  We had a sampling of naan (Indian bread) curry, (delicious!) chips, and other goodies!  All the children were so excited and devoured the entire meal, as Ambika and Rohan shared about their rich culture.  We learned a Hindi lesson, and Rohan shared first-hand from his many visits to his relatives in India, and how much he loves to travel there.  The students all bombarded them with questions, as their curiosity took over.  Special thanks to Ambika and Rohan for sharing their love for India with us.  Now we all want to REALLY visit!
