It was a\u00a0poignant moment for all the staff at the school\u00a0 as Sally has become such an established and valued member of the Hampstead team.<\/p>\n<p>It only seems like yesterday when the then school director Tania \u00a0announced that\u00a0one of our\u00a0newly appointed teacher&#8217;s was a\u00a0dead ringer for American actress Cameron\u00a0Diaz &#8211; that was our introduction to Sally!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1742\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1742\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/SallyAndMarco.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1742\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/SallyAndMarco-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sally being presented with the photo\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/SallyAndMarco-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/SallyAndMarco-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/SallyAndMarco.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sally being presented with the photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>An amazing teacher ( student feedback can&#8217;t be wrong !), and highly driven, Sally studied for both\u00a0 her DELTA and\u00a0a\u00a0 Masters in TESOL whilst working as both a teacher and then Assistant School Director at London Hampstead. At times it&#8217;s been gruelling as Sally worked hard,\u00a0 putting in long hours to achieve the highest standards in both her work and studies &#8211; successfully so in both cases. Her highly professional approach was recognised by our management team and when the previous school director Greg relocated to our school in Berkeley,\u00a0 Sally was the natural choice to replace him.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday the staff at Hampstead organised a little &#8216;goodbye&#8217; party. Just to ensure that\u00a0she won&#8217;t be \u00a0forgetting us too quickly, Sally was presented with a fun\u00a0&#8216;class&#8217; \u00a0photo of\u00a0 the LSI London Hampstead staff (\u00a0in their younger days\u00a0!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I&#8217;ve had a wonderful time at London Hampstead, &#8221; commented Sally.\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;I&#8217;ve learnt so much and have had so much support from my colleagues.
