Stacy Stubinsky is the new teacher at a Hutterite school. She is learning their peculiar culture while teaching nine grades in a one room school.

Chapter one was the first day of school for a new teacher on a Hutterite colony for Stacy Stubinsky. More challenges await her on the second day.

This is a work of fiction loosely based on my experiences as a student teacher at a Hutterite school. Hutterites are a Christian denomination that has become an ethnic heritage. They live communal lives on colonies, working, eating, and worshiping together. Each colony has its own school, but the schools are part of the public school division.
