We are currently writing from the library at the De La Salle Blackfeet School in Browning, Montana. Today marks our second day, but the first day working with the students. The trip from Rhode Island was tiring, but the view surpassed the exhaustion. We were all assigned different grades from 4th-8th grade and will be helping students with assignments in the classroom. We have learned that basketball is a favorite activity among the students, as well as the pecuilar questions they continue to ask us. We have found that the teachers dedicate themselves each day to enrich the knowledge of the students and to reiterate the mission of all La Sallian schools.
Besides the service of the trip, we are continually entertaining each other and growing accustom to the simplicity of life here in Montana. Since we do not have techonology on this trip, we are able to entirely immerse ourselves in the experience. Even after one day, we are contemplating moving out to Montana!
Sincerely,
The Ram Fam
