Touchstone Assembly

Hurray! Tomorrow, there will be an assembly so that we will get to unveil the touchstone out to the ENTIRE school. I am so excited about this assembly because I am part of the team that help create this touchstone.

A touchstone was used for mining and for to see if people were counterfeit in the olden days. The touchstone is made out of slate and the miners would strike the piece of ore on the touchstone to see if it was copper, silver, gold... In the olden days, it was used to see if the gold or silver coins were made out of pure silver or pure gold. If we put it into our perspective, the touchstone means to check our true values, beliefs of our own school. This is the true meaning of our touchstone... isn't it a powerful metaphor?

I need help...

I stayed home today because I have a project to do. I have to make a can holder that would be able to keep a can of pop very cold for a very long time. I am still thinking of a more efficient idea. Can anyone help me?

I know that Florence has to do another operation since the cancer has gone into her liver. I hope that this will be the very last time she has to do treatment. Florence... remember that we are always there to support you through the whole journey even if we are so far apart!
