Goodbye MidTerms

We just finished our mid-term exams; they're gone but not forgotten.
Here are a few pics that I've sent through some filters on my ipad.
The first one was taken under Sakara. Noticed how I've trimmed out all those ugly cherry blossoms. 
 Three of our 1st year girls- A ballerina, a maple and a Southern belle.
 My daughter Kaede giving a `Hutton Hug` (copy protected) to one of our best and brightest. This student lives close to where the tsunami hit and her family has had trouble making ends meet, which brings me to my true agenda for today's blog...
Thank you ex-Tokiwagi teachers Toru Takayanagi, Brandi Monts and the Bellevue Badminton Club, Seattle Badminton Club, Yonex USA and Hay exporters for raising $7, 740 dollars for our school. We're all very grateful for your efforts and we also appreciate every single person who chipped in a penny or a buck.  The amount of aid we've recieved from overseas is inspiring.

Well, gotta go now- I've got about 400 exams to mark (hooray!).
