To Thailand and Beyond!

What’s Inside

- Lilly Peery

Beloved RFHS social studies teacher Matt Wells is taking a sabbatical for the 2018-2019 school year to venture to Thailand with his family, and teach for a year. Wells explains that he and his wife both traveled when they were younger, and they hope that this experience will inspire their two daughters to want to “see and explore as much of the world as possible.” The Wells’ will be moving to Chennai, Thailand for the year. Wells and his wife Cathy will teach middle school social studies at the Nakornpayap International School. As a young adult, Wells discovered his passion for traveling. Through his acceptance into the Peace Corps, Wells embarked on trips to Cote D’ivoire, as well as traveled to Sierra Leone, Honduras, London, and many more places across the globe. “I miss living internationally and that experience,” said Wells. “That experience, for me, changed my life.” Upon his arrival in Thailand, Wells plans to start a pen-pal program between RFHS and Nakornpayap students. “I want to get kids connected,” he said. Additionally, he plans to see as much of Thailand and the surrounding countries as possible with his family. “I’m looking forward to Thai food, living in Southeast Asia, and being in what likes look a really pretty place!” stated Wells. Students and staff members from across the school all had amazing things to say about long-time RFHS teacher, Mr. Wells:
