Danielle B. fainted spectacularly during the Remembrance Day assembly at Cawthra yesterday. She wasn't feeling well going into it so tucked herself into the second row, behind some taller students. Good thing because she fell forward and then sideways before being caught by a friend. The choir of 300 performing arts students kept singing as teachers scooped her up and carried her out of the auditorium.
We were laughing about it in the changeroom tonight because a lot of people in the audience thought it was part of the performance since they were singing, "For the Fallen".
Danielle says it was a combination of too many choir practices, workouts, not enough sleep or food. She's feeling much better now, thanks for asking.

I love that the kids on fb have already joined a group called "When I was your age, the first african-american president of the united states was elected". I'm not sure if they actually recognize the signfigance of the event but full credit to teh information revolution for giving them the opportunity to take ownership. I know we didn't do the same for man's first moonwalk or the assassination of Kennedy.

I love google. Google is genius. I want to work there.
