Class of 2012, the newest New Tech graduates!
My Little Piggies (they came up with the term themselves because of my love for pigs) graduated a month ago and the trauma of losing them is still fresh. They also managed to definitely decrease my lifespan by about five years because of their procrastination, but that's okay.

Class of 2008, my first advisory
Oh the memories. Back when I was much younger and still had the last name Shima, I received my first advisory class. I certainly remember every name and face and I love it when they come back to visit!
Eight years ago, we had mixed grade-level advisories and romance blossomed among my first group of kids. The happy couple--Lucy and Corey--are now married and already have one kid. I also bumped into Jose the day before his wedding, so he has settled down and another advisory student--Ben--started his family when he was a senior in high school. I can't believe that all of these kids are now 22/23 and I'm...
Most Known For: Creating an Advisory Olympics t-shirt design in the shape of the atomic bomb mushroom cloud with the term hero-SHIMA on the back. Ms. Hanzel didn't like the final product, so we made the mushroom cloud into a tree.
Students: Sasha Badger (fiercest in advisory), Ian Hart (Nintendo belt buckle), Lucy Diaz (mama), Julio Zamarripa (the neverending Zamarripas), Jose Velasco (a handful), Ben Chaney (dad on a bike), Erika Drayton (cool one), Donald Oates (deep voice), Pa Lee (silent one), Ricardo Cortez (the nice one), Miku Outa (fellow Japanese!), Maihle Lee (goth girl), Gavin Baxter (sicky)
