So much is new, too. Jon Brooks is thankful to be able to return to his hometown of Vermillion, and roam the halls of the community’s elementary and middle schools in his job as a teacher for the Vermillion School District. Jon is also in his first year as head coach of the Vermillion Tanagers girls’ basketball team, so he’s spending afternoons and evenings in the high school gymnasium.

Jon added that he was excited to have the opportunity to pursue a career in education in his hometown. “When this job opened up, I was ready to jump at it right away, and I’m very fortunate and happy that it all worked out,” he said. Jon’s late afternoons and evenings are occupied with coaching the Tanager girls’ team.

This is their chance to start over, everybody is starting at square one. We just told them to come in and work hard, and you’ll fall into place where you fall into place at. “The kids have done a great job,” Jon said. “Everything is new for them – that’s the one thing 1 and 2 BR apartments.
