I said “goodbye for now” to the Polar Ambassadors with an after school celebration last week. At the meeting, I handed out our official t-shirts, designed by Polar Ambassador Claire Placky, and we enjoyed some penguin cake. Good times!

    At the meeting, I also reminded the Polar Ambassadors to write to me through the “Ask the Team” tab. It’s easy to do.

    I've been so busy preparing for my trip and getting things organized for my substitute teacher that I haven't had time to think about how much I'll miss everyone. It hit me today when a few students said "goodbye." Please write to me while I’m on my expedition so that I won’t be homesick!
