The 6th Grade Design and Modeling students made their own shoes this term! They needed a logo and a slogan to go with their design. Their 6th grade teachers and the office staff voted for their favorite! Which one was your favorite?

The International Club's guest speaker was Mr. Ai. He was born in Shanghai, China, (population 24 million at night and 33 million during the day), and he moved to Watertown at age 15. In China, students start learning English in 1st grade. Chinese students attend middle school from 7 AM to 7 PM and then study each night. They must pass a test to get into high school and only 50% pass. Mr. Ai taught us to say hello in Chinese. Ni Hao!
