Julie Hostetler Graber is going to Kenya in July to share her teaching experience with the staff of the Mathare Menno Kids Academy. The Academy is a nursery to eighth grade school located in Mathare, a poverty-stricken area of Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. Because Julie was born while her parents, Don and Joyce Hostetler of Bluffton, were serving as volunteers in East Africa, she has developed a lasting interest in the children there. This will be her third visit to Africa as an adult.

The final honor roll of the 2010-11 season was released on June 3 for Bluffton elementary fourth and fifth graders. The students are listed in an attachment at the bottom of this story.

Wendy Chappell-Dick

You grew up in a very music-oriented family. Do you remember the very first song you learned to sing as a child?

I remember the first song that I learned to sing in harmony at age five- I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It was a praise song from my parents' house church.

How many instruments do you play? Was piano first? Cello?
