One of Elizabeth’s seventh graders, leading the morning assembly time.

Today was the last day of school. Elizabeth was busy teaching and handling a number of extra projects - pen pals for the fifth graders, child sponsorship letters - to really spend time reminiscing. However, her seventh graders led the assembly today, the last day of classes before exam period begins. They wished their fellow students good luck on their exams, and nostalgically said farewell to those who will not return next year.

The news is all about the bombings in Morocco and the Road Map for Peace. Let's hope that the meeting will bear some fruit - no doubt world fury fueled by the conflict here is related to the news from Morocco.
