new white sashes

So this last weekend my wife and I went to Arthur, IL, Amish capital of the state and home of my parents and one of my school locations.  I started this school when I was living there and I taught out of my church there.   It was never a big school, but it produced a black sash and a white sash.  The white sash joined the army, and the black sash took over the school when I left.   He now teaches at Arthur Christian Academy.  While I was there, my senior student joined us from St. Louis and the three of us tested his two white sash candidates for their first sash.  They both did very well and I was very pleased.

 

Congratulations to Matthew Wujick and Jared Yoder.  Keep up the hard work.
