MEET SUSAN BLANCHARD, MATH SPECIALIST
FAMILY: Warren (Spouse, TRex age) and Steven (45)
HOBBY: Volunteering for Airedale Rescue and Wildlife Rescue.
YEARS AT SLES: Twenty years!
What do you love about working at SLES? There are so many things, but my favorite thing is that you are never alone. You are one hug away from feeling wanted, needed, and loved. Name me one other working place that gives you that feeling every day when you walk through the doors.
If you could give a piece of wisdom to our students, what would you say? Don't be afraid to make mistakes...mistakes mean you are trying.
How does daily chapel affect our students? If you listen carefully to graduates who come back to SLES to visit, they will tell you that the one thing they miss the most is going to chapel. It was a time to pray together and talk with God. They even say they loved to sing the songs that they sang in little chapel and they sang them with joy in their heart.
