Night Blaze

I thought this sunset was particularly brilliant. And as a good red sky at night should, it predicted beautiful weather for the next day. It has been a little warmer and drier lately, although today it is raining a lot. I was just on playground duty, and the kids didn't arrive for a good ten minutes into their playground time. I thought it was because of the rain, but they told me they were all being checked for lice this morning, hence the delay. They proceeded to report, with some excitement, which kids had lice- it sounded like maybe one in ten are afflicted. Yikes.

This is Kaz (second from left) with some of his favorite classmates. They are really nice kids, and are all ninth graders. If they look a bit older than Kaz, remember that he is in seventh grade back in the U.S. but in the ninth grade here.
