HURRAY! Our 2023-24 school year is under way. New crayons, old and new friends, and butterflies in the stomach signal the start of a new school year. It's the BEST!
Hello, and welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of junior high. This is a hugely impactful time in your student's life, and I am energized and honored to be a part of it. Junior high students are at a transformative age. They are formulating their own beliefs, noticing life's shades of gray, and deciding who they want to become. I prayerfully approach each day asking the Lord to help me patiently guide my students. Undoubtedly, there are times I fail, but I will continue to give my utmost to create a happy, healthy place for mutual learning.
I believe the parent/teacher partnership is critical to a student's education and spiritual growth. I welcome parental words of wisdom and student feedback. Please don't hesitate to contact me over any need or questions that arise. Together, let us pray and encourage your teenager's academic and character growth, and especially their walk with Jesus. (Matthew 22:37).
In His Service,
Mrs. Busby
A Little About Me:
I graduated from Walla Walla College with a B.S. in education and a marriage proposal from my BFF, Ken Busby. Who says college tuition isn't worth the money?
After teaching in Adventist schools for seven years, I chose to stay home to raise and educate my three children. Those twelve years were some of my happiest, yet I also longed to be in the classroom again. The Lord opened the door to my dream job, so the 2023-2024 school year will be my 11th at Rogers School.
As the oldest of eight children, a mother to four, and a grandmother with a second grandbaby on the way, I rarely find time for my own hobbies; however, I enjoy reading, home decorating, walking or bike-riding with my husband, snow-skiing, and Bible study.
I am thankful for the opportunity to spend my days with my favorite, fun-loving 7th and 8th graders. They make me laugh. It doesn't get much better than this! I look forward to working with each of you this next school year.
Keep praying for our kids,
Mrs. Toni Busby
