on NOT meeting Mikhail

Wasn't sure that I could say who, but everyone is talking about it, since he's here (well, at the other campus) today. And NO, the middle schoolers are not allowed to attend. Neither are their teachers.

Not that I would know what to wear when meeting the former Soviet Premiere.

To me, the coolest thing is that our 7th grade students do a living "wax" museum every year. They act out an important event in history, and then freeze in the famous photo that captured the moment. One of the current 10th graders actually portrayed Ronald Reagan during his "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" speech. Now that kid gets to sit in the audience and watch Mr. Gorbachev talk.

How COOL is that?
