The famous David Preston returned to Westside School last Thursday. It was only temporary but everyone was excited about it. Preston moved to Portland, Oregon last year after teaching for three years at Westside. He moved because his wife, Jen, got a job as a doctor in Portland. He was very well liked around here for many good reasons. He was a great teacher and made it very fun to learn about whatever he was teaching. Everyone was sad when he left last year, and he is missed very much.
Now he is teaching at Abiquia School in Salem, about an hour outside Portland. It is actually the school that ex Westside head of school Jo Ann Yockey works at. He is teaching 5th and 6th math and social studies and 5-8th grade life skills.
In Portland he likes to go exploring and hiking, and he really likes the restaurant. Last year he went to the Timber's/Sounders playoff game and was very disappointed with the Sounders’ loss. We wish Preston the best in wherever he goes in the future and hopes he keeps giving Westide more visits.
