High fives and well wishes • On Dec. 17, prior to school dismissing for holiday break, Summerland-Ewing elementary students line the hallway, offering high fives and words of encouragement to instructor Barb Roland, who is battling cancer. Students sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" to the long-time instructor. Roland has begun hospice care and will not return to teach when second semester begins in January.
