Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

Congo --Kimo

To put it quite simply-What Zack said. Earlier this year, on a hot, boring day, I went to cnn.com to see what the headlines were. There, I saw a forest fire, an election update or two, a study on social trends. And in the corner, just a blurb, "Congo Crisis Worsens." Now, a few months later, I am still amazed at how little stride has been made towards something that has been called a crisis. Africa is not just some floating rock. There are real people there, who experience real pain and are being treated with very real and inhumane cruelties. We need to get over ourselves and act.
