Meet the Gadish girls, each a little princess. These four girls learn from 7-5 each day and have weekly tutoring sessions where they study French, geography, math and other topics. Hannahbella is reading Little Women, there are four sisters in the book and four Gadish sisters. They are the most enthusiastic learners, and a teacher's dream, which is now my dream come true. Thank you for listening as the tale unfolds.

"Recently, I had the opportunity to share a fun and enriching virtual experience with my family. One of our relatives has a passion for researching Greek cooking and culture. She has traveled to Greece and stayed with many local culinary experts in the Blue Zone to learn their secrets to longevity. In an effort to share her discoveries with others, she organized a virtual meeting including friends and family from around the country to participate in a series of three cooking demonstrations. It was hosted by a compassionate and enthusiastic husband and wife team from a tiny Greek island, who shared their craft as well as family traditions dating back 500 years." -EPIC Teacher, Christine Milich Have you had any enriching virtual experiences?
